I did strict, high ratio, keto for 6 months. I did it pretty "clean" too. I almost never strayed above 50g carbs a day and usually stayed under 20g. My fat ratio made up 70% of my diet. No processed foods. Lots of veggies.
My years of indigestion went away (and never came back - it's been 3.5 years since this experiment) Lost 60lbs from 220 to 160. Slept like a log. Like a solid 7-9hrs a night once I was a month in.
All my markers - lipids, metabolic, blood Glucose, etc..went from shit to within norms with LDL slightly elevated.
I had more energy during the day, and way more focus (I'm adhd).
I had to quit bc even when upping my calories to 2,500-3k a day. I was still losing weight.
Also I developed Orthorexia during this process. I became obsessed with making keto versions of bread, taco shells, home made cereal, and started to spend endless amounts of time in the kitchen. When eggs, meat and big ass salads would have done just fine. Even when quitting keto.. Taking nutrition to absurd degrees was common for years. It became a total OCD.
