I have been back to eating low carb for the last 5 weeks as I realized the higher carb lifestyle (even when combined with fasting) was causing my mental health to suffer, I will have an update on this soon but since switching back to eating mostly meat based, low carb with the only carbs I am eating coming from lower carb veggie sources and also increasing my omega 3 daily, and eliminating alcohol I have dramatically started feeling better.
What led me to shift away from a low carb lifestyle to begin with was that I was trying to lose weight with it and felt like no matter what I did it stuck to me, and I was gaining it back slowly but feeling like I was on a “diet”.
What brings me back has nothing to do with weight loss or body composition although that is shifting naturally on its own from the break and then return. I think too much of anything is not good and shifting gears based on currently goals and lifestyle is a good idea, for me returning to low carb feels right in this moment as I am mainly concerned with healing my mental health struggles I was experiencing.
I’m not saying this will be my path the rest of my life, it’s what I need right now.
If you guys would like me to start uploading vlogs again let me know below. I started some new passions this past year including painting and found a new side of myself that I didn’t know existed or at least was always there but had been suppressed and there’s a lot of exciting things going on in my life that I would love to share with you all of you are interested in coming along for the ride.
