I have been Keto since October 2018. I went to the American Red Cross and donated blood today, I did not have to sit and wait or eat/drink there food. I had my water bottle and some macadamia nuts. I was not dizzy or lightheaded at all. I actually went grocery shopping afterwards. Found out I am O+. I plan on donating again and then get a lab draw and see if there is any difference.

Thank you for donating! My father in law extended his life by a year thanks to people who selflessly give up their blood. The American blood banks won’t accept my blood due to Mad Cow Disease and living in Germany (military bases rec’d beef from England) during the 1980s and 1990s. So I am so thankful for your contribution!

That’s awesome! I used to donate regularly but went to India this past August and they won’t let me donate for a year. I went keto in September. Curious to see if I feel different/better when I start donating again. Fasting for my physical yesterday was super easy though.
