Paleo/Ketogenic diet
Since my updated diagnosis, I have pretty much stopped all fruit, lowered my starchy veggie intake, and moved to a ketogenic diet. I am going in and out of it, finding getting a glucose monitor and checking my sugars helps a bit with understanding my moods a bit more and what to eat for snacks. The ketosis thing is causing some odd issues, constipation, lower magnesium and calcium levels, needing to drink more liquid, Leg cramps in the mornings. Up side I can not sit still I feel like I got to keep moving. Down side is I crave protein like crazy despite the 250-300g a day intake (I am working with weights for 30min sessions twice a day trying to bulk). My carb intake is about 30-70g a day net carbs, due to about 50-100g of it being fiber from nuts and seeds. Fat intake is a mix from the nuts, seeds, and cocoa. To deal with the sweet tooth I do find myself going through sugar free jams, and erytrol, monk fruit, and stevia like CRAZY. I have always had a huge sweet tooth, sorta why I am a baker. Got to admit this is interesting the way this is effecting my body, thinking I am needing to start taking vitamin C, supplements and more calcium/magnesium supplements to help maintain my body.
