I feel like the more I post about diabetes the more I'm going to discuss ketones and ketoacidosis and the more it's going to become evident that I have a personal beef with the keto diet
#egginfroggintalkin#if it works for you then that's great. genuinely good for you#but also. ketone production is not something that the body really does normally#it's a stress response done in times of crisis. it's the body burning its own fat directly in absence of a large source of energy (carbs)#it's an extreme diet of sorts and therefore is not something to undergo lightly#to counteract the direct metabolism of body fat you need to consume a lot of other fat#which has its own issues#I've seen people literally gnawing on sticks of butter and I'm just like 'that is SATURATED FAT that is SO MUCH SATURATED FAT'#in short I've just. heard too much about how it's like some sort of cure-all#and too much of people not grasping or addressing WHAT it is and WHAT it is that makes it so effective#fat slides off on it because your body thinks that it's in crisis mode#it's tampering with crisis responses and that just. makes me nervous. so nervous#I'd just like to keep my well-rounded diet and food groups please#went through the crisis mode. had the ketones. lost a ton of weight. 0/10 would not go to hospital with it again#yeah dka is basically unmitigated ketone production and is out of control#but still. they give me the willies. I do not like them#but if it works for you then great! go off man and good luck to you!
