This. You can find hundreds if not thousand of testemonies in the keto space where their depresion completely disspeared after between 1 to 6 months on keto or at least their needs to meds drasticaly reduced and their symptoms improved.
- devbent 2y agoI'm a big keto proponent but even so, I have to mention that cutting our shitty foods, with or without keto, losing weight, and moving more, are likely stronger causes of improved mood than Keto itself. I'm not saying keto can't help with psychological problems, but we should first acknowledge the other multiple, known causative, elephants in the room.
- nosbo 2y agoI don't think that has anything to do with keto. If you go from a standard american diet to mediteranian, plant based, keto etc people are going to be feeling better. A large percentage of people that change there diet probably start exercising too.
- astrange 2y agoThe keto people don't seem to talk to the microbiome people though. Keto cuts out things that are bad for the microbiome, but the things it keeps are bad (red meat -> excessive protein and TMAO), and it doesn't feed the bacteria enough (fiber, etc). Also, keto dieting advice is pretty universal but different people have very different microbiomes, lactose tolerance, etc.
- nradov 2y agoThat seems like "bro science". There is no reliable evidence that more protein results in worse health outcomes, and a high protein diet doesn't necessarily imply insufficient fiber. https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/ https://peterattiamd.com/lucvanloon/
- astrange 2y agoMay be a circular definition. Farting a lot, meat sweats and smelling bad are negative health outcomes IMO.
