Yeah so here's a piece of advice:
Dont increase your protein intake to the point where it accidentally becomes your only fuel source.
Ask me how I know :(
Farts that can wake the dead?
Carbs make you happy. Had gestational diabetes some years ago. Went very low carb to control sugars. Was very cranky bitch for the entire pregnancy.
Yeah I have to say, I'm prone to the occasional low mood, but I don't think I've ever been as angry and tired as I have the last few days. Lesson learned
No carb intake puts you into 'Keto-flu'. You feel absolutely foul and run down for a several days. It gets better but absolutely sucks.
A lot of people fuck up keto and don't eat enough lipid/fat too.
Constipation?
Protein toxicity:
Extreme mood issues
Fatigue
Nausea
Etc
Oh yeah. You need those carbs and fats too. Look after yourself mate.
Cheers :)
Just smashed half a kilo of frozen chips from the air fryer and I'm still hungry lol
Try some avocado on wholemeal toast. Good fats, carbs, and surprisingly avocado has lots of fibre in it so you get a good dose of that too. Follow up with a piece of fruit, because you donβt want scurvy either!
Lipids / Fat is also an important macronutrient, particularly for hormones. Unless medically directed I think we should all be getting our kilojoules from all three sources.
