T2D for 22 year as well as Bipolar 2. Started keto 6 weeks ago went from 83 units of insulin a day to 15 units. Dropped 20 pounds of that “water weight” My labs were so great that my doctor said I’ll be off my diabetes medication and blood pressure meds by this December. This has been a lot of work. I was having serious withdrawal but now with all the fasting I don’t crave the carbs and I don’t eat between meals. I have always been the most undisciplined person I know. No looking back! I take 3 psych meds I’m hoping one day I will be off those soon.

I did go to the ER eventually but it helped alot that moment .. the touch of another person or an animal is really powerful ! Sorry for my english 😅

LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

Whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat. Beans and legumes. Meats. Even white rice would be better. Rice, beans, and flour are all inexpensive. Eating healthier can be expensive and more time consuming. Take small steps at a time. Cereal for breakfast? Maybe oat meal with fruit and cream would be better. Or scrambled eggs on toast. Slowly reduce sugar added to your coffee. Etc. Small steps stick the longest, I think. I used to drink coffee with lots of sugary creamer. I slowly reduced the added creamer and now I drink my coffee black. Been drinking it black for 10 yrs now and no longer like creamer, cream, or sugar in my coffee. Good luck!!

From experience I can tell you that fasting (or not eating) isn't good for you if you have anxiety. A number of people with generalized anxiety disorder have a stomach that produces too much acid (talk about the number of people with anxiety that have IBS, gastric reflux or other digestive tract problems) and not eating will let your gastric acids deteriorate your intestinal mucosa. If you eat something, the acid will deteriorate the food inside your stomach and will not be as harsh on your mucosa.

The diet one is a big issue for me to follow in this video because of a history of disordered eating and the language used to talk about food. Words like "cleaning up" and "eliminating" are pretty triggering for me, because high restriction and moralizing food are incredibly damaging for me. "Toxins" are also a grey area, because harmful fads like "detox tea" are laxatives and ultimately harmful. A healthier way to consider a diet centred on whole foods is to think of what you can add or swap out: adding more vegetables, swapping for whole grains, adding wholesome snacks, swapping a candy bar for something to hit that sweet tooth (or in my case, some nuts!). I'd really appreciate some more awareness and mindfulness on the language used to talk about food in advice videos like this.
