Who here adheres to a vegan or plant-based diet? I’ve tried in on and off over the past 8 months, and I feel a sort of mental lethargy. Is this just placebo or is that a very real effect from this sort of diet?
Like not only mentally-tired but scatter-brained as well.
@AltRightMick Your brain thrives on healthy animal fats. Your brain is like 70-80% fat, it needs it to function at peak.
Depriving your brain of animal fats will do that to you.
@Gaius Mucius Scaevola I feel like that’s just a meme though. Joe Rogan used to say that all of the time in between his comments on how DMT is what makes us dream at night.
I'm on keto, I know several other people on keto
And others who have been on keto
All share my experience of clearer thought and better focus and concentration on keto
Just because Joe Rogan spouts memes sometimes doesnt' meane everything he says is a meme
I feel like genuinely giving Keto a fair shot would require me to give up beer for a couple months.
My head was never more clear than on keto
Having beer is tragic
There are light beers that are only like 2-3g of carbs per 12oz bottle. If you are going for under 20g of carbs per day, you can fit in beer. I don't like to drink alcohol much at all really because your body cannot metabolize fat while there is alcohol in your system, but if you are having a drink, most liquor is 0g of carbs, and you can find beers that are like 2-3g. Now, they will be shitty light beers, but it will be beer.
@here If any of you guys are interested in farming you can shoot me a DM. I work on a 24,000 acre farm in South Dakota. I've only been working here for about a month but if I can't answer your questions I can find someone who can.
I recommend, if any of you guys are single and aren't tied down to anything, Take up this mans request to form a community up in SD
It's my first day back on keto. Lost a bunch of weight last year doing it. Anyone thinking about it you gotta try it. It works
I’m on day two of Keto because I gained a bunch of weight after getting hurt back in December. I’m feeling that initial Keto fatigue
@Der Seeteufel - SD Should I say fuck college, I'll be knocking on your doorstep
@Grossly Incandescent first week or so sucks till you start to get use to it. Pork rinds, bacon and sour cream are your best friends
@Grossly Incandescent drink Powerade zero and get some pink Himalayan salt
Drink a lot of water eat lots of bacon
@AltRightMick there are light beers that aren't bad
I had to give up cider, there's no such thing as keto friendly cider
@Mark Vandal pork rinds and french onion dip is also good
@Grossly Incandescent Drink a lot of water, get some "Lite Salt" and Magnesium Citrate from the supermarket and put a tsp of Lite Salt and a tbsp of Magnesium Citrate in about a liter of water. Add some flavoring like Mio or crystal lite.
One thing I will say, a thing I enjoy even more than the weight loss, is that I appreciate the way my mind works now on a carnivore way of eating. I am so much more focused, as you will hear people say, but the clarity has made me so much more assertive and “alpha”.
I don’t feel enslaved by impulse or passions.
@AltRightMick I’m on a mostly low-fat vegan diet not because I’m a vegan but because I like the effects it’s had for me. No mental fog.
Crystal lite has aspartame which is bad for you
Someone redpill me on aspartame- I’ve heard very conflicting things about it
(((conflicting)))
I stay away from any of those sugar free sweeteners. I used to sell an energy drink called “zipfizz”, which had no sugar and claimed to be healthy. It had sucralose which is bad. The owner/creater ended up dying at 44, didnt say the cause.
Some kid at my elementary school went to the hospital after consuming Zipfizz
Just the powder by itself
I got in trouble for jokingly calling him "Zipfizz"
LOL. Dude the creater was from Washington I almost forgot. That is hilarious
