Different body chemistry needs different things. A meat diet works for me. I am supposed to be a carnivore. I have been an extreme keto carnivore for 4 years(with scheduled breaks for blood production) and I've never felt or been better.
My friend became a vegan around the same time. We eat EXACTLY opposite but he's lost 150lbs and is doing amazing.
There is no right answer, only the right answer for you.
I feel the same way, went on keto a few days ago and it wasn’t too hard given that most of my diet was fats. However, now I feel like shit and have been second guessing the decision. I’m motivated to power through it though, it’s worth it to me to make a change. I stopped drinking when I started keto and that has been rough too. I was drinking 4+ beers everyday like a fucking autist.
At what interval do you take breaks for blood production? Do you have any good resources for keto? Thanks.
Also, the feeling like shit is normal. You are trying to produce glucose from proteins because you've never gone into ketosis. Your sympathetic nervous system kicks in and causes heart palpitations, blurry vision, anxiety, shortness of temper, hot flashes, and fatigue. This can last up to two weeks the first time or two.
My "keto flu" is less than 24 hours now.
I had a very similar scenario. I started doing carnivore the same time my friend became vegan. Hes Pacific islander and was overweight on an american diet. Lost a lot of weight being vegan, but also a lot of hair and strength. I think variety is key.
The commonality there probably is you are both cutting out all the processed shit.
Me yes him no. Vegan food is fuckin AWFUL lol. Most of your shitty snack foods are vegan friendly he eats like a garbage can
vegan
He's retarded as fuck. The brain feeds off of animal sourced saturated fat.
