Pretty sick of people pretending that blood sugar and anxiety/depression aren't linked.

28 years of being suicidal. Found these videos and keto 4 months back have only broken it once. Discipline and routine aside. Keto changed saved my life.

Bros I'm happy... Wtf?

Please don't downplay the risk of hypoglycemia on a low-carb diet. I started cutting carbs about two weeks ago (healthy 24y/o male with no health conditions). Yesterday, I was driving and became extremely lightheaded almost to the point of passing out. I got tunnel vision, shakiness, low brain function, and a heavy heart. I luckily was able to pull over.

These symptoms originated from low blood sugar and they almost cost me my life. It takes time for the body to become fat adapted, and one should do so gradually in my humble opinion.

I was in the grocery store when my blood sugar dropped. I had cold sweats, shaking, heart racing & barely made it to my car. I was eating very high carb until 6 weeks ago. I'm now sticking to a keto diet. My AIC runs about 4.2 & my dr thinks that's wonderful. I've had these episodes before. I think I might be hypoglycemic.

I’ve been suffering from hypoglycemia my whole life since I was a young kid. Did keto for 2 years and stopped it quick.

I was keto adapted for 4 months, 60 hours in to a 72 hour fast, just finished a gym workout and my blood glucose was 43 and ketones 5.7. I felt great no problems at all! Just to be safe I did break the fast!

Thank you so much for your videos,. Thomas. I am an RN , always interested in the biochemistry of how food affects your body.  I am 75 and on keto have lost 45 pounds so far.  169 this morning, on my way to 150. I love all your videos.  Thank you for all your videos. You are a gem!!!!!!

I was literally just thinking about this lol

I searched for eating alternatives due to several scary low blood sugar incidences and found keto. Long story short, I did eat "healthy", but my diet and the six small meals a day maintained the hypoglycemia I was diagnosed with at 19. During my initial five months on keto I lost ten pounds a month (228 to 178 lbs). During this time I finally got the courage to try getting by on two meals a day. I was scared to do this because of my severe blood sugar crashes. However, I found that my body responded better than I could have imagined. I got off keto for a while while I patted myself on the back for losing weight, but I realized I just felt better on keto and two meals a day. I work nights, eat around 4 or 5pm with a cup of black coffee, have a small cup of black coffee around midnight, eat again at 6:30am. I don't have a need to snack between meals. Just for reference, a go to meal is three or four eggs cooked with sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, shredded chicken (Costco rotisserie shredded chicken) or sliced beef, crumbly cheese (often goat cheese), pitted kalamata olives with a bit of hot sauce and almonds on the side. Make sure you have your keto foods at home so you don't get stuck eating crap you shouldn't be eating. I do eat green veggies and always have dried seaweed available. And if temptation becomes too much just eat something small (peanut M&Ms or whatever) right after you eat your meal cause if you're eating two times a day your caloric intake is probably going to be lower than how you had been eating before keto. The addition of cheese and olives to my meals for me, with that good cup of coffee, really does hit my sweet spot.

This man has helped me tremendously. I wonder does he know how many people he has helped. Thank you so much.

One thing I have found is that if you started out with high sugars as your norm, when you start IF and your sugars start to drop, even an average sugar level can give you the symptoms of a hypo even though you are not actually low.

Thank you for posting this very interesting. You have a talent for explaining things, that otherwise might go over my head. Frustration starts where knowledge ends.

Had lots of hypoglycemic symptoms during my teenage years and the 'fix', I was told to eat more 'enriched breads'.  Made me feel so much worse.  Fasting 2 days a month made me feel better but was really not supported, did it anyway.
Thanks for another intelligent view.

I am hypoglycemic and keto helps I was afraid at first but I had no episodes once I was going

I had hypoglycemia before I went Keto. Extreme lows in the gym. I no longer have any symptoms. No highs and lows in my insulin levels.

I agree it can be psychosomatic for some people, but my blood glucose drops from 130 to below 70 when initiating keto  and the physical symptoms are very scary. (70 isn't low once my body adjusts, it actually feels fine). When I'm not on keto, I have a heavy carb diet and need to eat every couple of hours to keep my blood sugar from going too low. When I want to go keto again, I need a 3 day weekend without work or physical activity so that I can slowly decrease to the 20 g of carbs or less. I get dizzy, the sweats, feel faint, slur my words if I just drop to 20 carbs cold turkey and continue with normal work/physical activity. BUT yeah, once my body adjusts, I feel like WONDER WOMAN! I can easily do OMAD, 20/4 INTERMITTENT FASTING window, sleep great, think super clearly, work more efficiently, have tons of energy, eliminate inflammation/joint pain and my mood/emotions are much more elevated and stable. I have a crazy sweet tooth (cookies/chocoate) and a love for potatoes and beans that derail me every couple of months. You would think feeling like WONDER WOMAN would be enough to keep me from getting tempted to cheat on keto, but the struggle is REAL. I want to begin KETO again next Fri/Sat/Sun. Wish me luck!😜🙏

You’re amazing dude! I just have to Thank you ...Over the last 3 years I’ve done keto off and on and even tho I was doing well. It’s hard to stay on track when you truly don’t understand things! I am hypoglycemic & I feel lousy some of the time and try and push thru it but you have so many informational videos that I have been binge watching & I appreciate what you do for us viewers, you really explain things without getting to overwhelming with it 🤍❣️ thank you so much ! & you’re genuinely trying to help us ! You’re helping me change my life🤍

Great info!!!

I'm hypoglycemic and have been perfectly fine.  Love keto

The only times that I get severe low blood sugar when I'm able to test it and see is after a high sugar carb meal like cereal. I've been ketogenic for a straight three and a half weeks and I haven't had one low blood sugar episode since. It is remarkable

Thank you for this video! Went to doctor this week for blood work  and blood glucose was at 55. Time before that was 49. Been doing keto for 3 months now.  Doctor was very concerned but I had no symptoms from this hypoglycemia she labeled me with so I'm not worried at all.
