Those are symptoms of hypoglycemia. Like I said above, when you switch over to ketones as your primary source of energy, you don’t need carbohydrates. Although you would have to eat lots of vegetables too as other nasty issues might arise if you don’t.
You still need carbs regardless or your heart and brain will stop functioning properly. Hypoglycemia is abnormally low blood sugar. Sugar is a carb. So there you go.

I think instead of people trying to restrict their diets, they should just add in what they need. I don’t know where this idea of frugalness came from but it seems to be rampant in pretty much every fad diet.
The article has nothing to do with reddit. It’s a separate instance.
If you click on the link in my OP it won’t lead you to reddit.
I think a psychiatrist has more credibility than a nutritionist with regards to mental health don’t you think?
I’m not saying everybody should do keto. Maybe vegan would work better for you. I’m just sharing this link for people to discover avenues if they wanted to try something different.

Did you just add that link right now?
Also, when it comes to nutrition,
I trust a nutritionist because its what they’ve studied,
Psychiatrist don’t study nutrition to that extent.
Sure, they’re more educated, but not in that department.
Listen, the reason I’m giving you such a hard time is because your title says in it “diet superior to antipsychotic medication” and that is wrong.
Period.
I don’t have to argue the details, which are also wrong.

I don’t know why i seem to get by on it. My psychiatrists are shocked too.
I think you are probably experiencing a placebo effect.
I just put in the title whatever the title of the article is.
The title was meant to be click-bait. It probably reflects the article’s writing. That doesn’t make it wrong however, it just makes it more geared towards entertainment that I equivocate to professional wrestling. If you want more sources with actual scientific information, you can use scholar.google.com and scholarpedia.org

My mom shared an article from Harvard/ McClean Hospital about the ketogenic diet. The problem is it’s hard for me. We asked my doctor about it and he said cutting back is good but he was worried about my brain being starved of glucose. In summary, improvements are okay. Just gotta be careful.

You need carbs to function properly.

Carbohydrates in moderation depending on how the individuals physiology reacts to carbs, is OK. People like Dr. Atkins do not promote a ZERO-carb weight loss plan. Rather they promote a LOW-carb diet. Some peoples bodies process the amount of carbs differently. Some people can safely exist on fewer or more carbs than others and some people can eat a certain amount of carbs without gaining weight while another person eating the same amount will gain weight. Even the best healthiest diet out there will not work for everyone across the board. There is no “fit-all” diet out there.

The Atkins diet is high-protein, low carb diet. But Atkins based the diet on eating a lot of meat for the protein AND the fat you get from meat. He says fats aids in losing weight.

Even lobotomies helped SOME people. But for the majority it failed or came with a price.
The purpose of the operation was to reduce the symptoms of mental disorder, and it was recognized that this was accomplished at the expense of a person’s personality and intellect. British psychiatrist Maurice Partridge, who conducted a follow-up study of 300 patients, said that the treatment achieved its effects by “reducing the complexity of psychic life”. Following the operation, spontaneity, responsiveness, self-awareness and self-control were reduced. Activity was replaced by inertia, and people were left emotionally blunted and restricted in their intellectual range.[9]
The consequences of the operation have been described as “mixed”.[10] Some patients died as a result of the operation and others later committed suicide. Some were left severely brain-damaged. Others were able to leave the hospital, or became more manageable within the hospital.[10] A few people managed to return to responsible work, while at the other extreme people were left with severe and disabling impairments.[11] Most people fell into an intermediate group, left with some improvement of their symptoms but also with emotional and intellectual deficits to which they made a better or worse adjustment.[11] On average, there was a mortality rate of approximately 5 percent during the 1940s.[11]

It was a well known fact that he had heart problems which are a result of not having enough carbs. He also had hypertension and a blood clot in his brain (which is caused by a lot of cholesterol that comes from meat). I mean the evidence is there. He and his doctor put out that it was a chronic infection but I don’t see anything about the source of the infection or why it was chronic. Maybe it was because of his weak heart being caused by insufficient carb intake? There are also obvious financial reasons to put out that it wasn’t his diet that killed him. The fact that there was a lot of money involved in keeping the name good for future business investment.
But yeah, your food won’t stop a disease regardless.
I’m not going to argue it, you can find articles to back your claims up and I can find articles to back my claim up. It ain’t worth the trouble.
