I took keto for granted 😢

Hmmmm no :thinking: never heard of it. Tell me more :face_with_monocle:…(10 minutes later) … ooooooh it’s a laxative!! why would you ask? Do you think I’m full of shit? :rofl:

Just imagining someone yearning for more chocolate, post-ExLax, whilst perched upon the porcelain altar simulating the eve of a colonoscopy…

The name is a hint :slight_smile:

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #85

Not only is Ex-Lax a laxative, it’s chocolate flavored. Or used to be! :bacon:

#86

A person would have to be careful not to mix to two up. That would be dispantserous.

#87

Never heard of it. Could’ve been something to do with my Ex too for all I knew. The hint would’ve been in the name…afterall

I took 5 days off and ate my way thru California and DisneyLand. Sometimes ya just gotta. I felt poopy for a day but then back in. Keto is more about the big picture. (That’s what my hormone doctor says. He’s been doing Keto for 10 years.) And interestingly enough… after staring back on after our trip, my body actually CRAVED the fats. It was done with the carbs! Hang in there and don’t beat yourself up. Xoxo

I bet you’re not the only one…(sheepishly raising my hand).

Yep - a waist is a terrible thing to mind! lol

I have been off keto for a few months and I starting back up tomorrow. I have maintained the weight I lost on keto with intermittent fasting but the thing that is most noticeable is how awful I feel now. Anxiety is at an all time high, I have no energy and generally feel awful. My skin does not take well to keto, but I am hoping to have a better run this time.

I did keto for a while last year, i felt good but I kept falling off the wagon and didn’t really understand it like I do this time around. I went back to my old lifestyle. I was anxious and miserable. I did a bit soul searching and tried to think back to when I was happiest. It was when I was keto. So I tried again.
I was back to feeling calm and happy within the first week of starting. My anxiety levels dropped too. I found it much easier this time though because I was a bit more educated this time around. (I knew nothing about electrolytes and salt intake etc the first time and suffered a lot with headaches and palpitations etc)
I’m so happy you’ve made the decision to come back to it! Like you, my skin isn’t great but I read earlier on this forum that it could be toxins stored in fat cells being released. But for me it’s a small price to pay for feeling ‘normal’ again. Just happy and calm. Things will start to look up very soon for you!! Keep us posted on how you’re getting on :two_hearts:
