Ketogenic Diet

I have a question for the science people out there. Even when I had a functioning brain science was not my strong point.

 

I was reading a few articles about the ketogenic diet. This one had a line that made my eyes perk up.

 

https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201104/your-brain-ketones

 

"Ketogenic diets seem to favor glutamate becoming GABA rather than aspartate".

 

Now I'm guessing there is much more to it than that, but if that was the case would the Keto diet not be a lot more helpful and widespread in terms of being used to help with withdrawal? I'm guessing there is a reason why it isn't?

 

What gives?

I'm on myfitnesspal and I keep reading over and over that a Neto diet has helped a lot of people totally rid their anxiety/depression,,I wanna try it but dang I love my carbs too much

If you can get away from carbs CT, you will likely be surprised at how much less you crave them. I sure was. Be ready to have a pretty heavy hit of no  or low energy for a couple of weeks if you go CT concentrated sugar Sadly I slowly relapsed, but am revving up to try again. I found nut butters to be really helpful when I was craving sweets They can cause kidney stones if you are prone to them

I am doing a low carb diet and am much more stable mood wise. Sugar/Carbs spike your glucose levels and it is like being on a roller coaster. This is a permanent diet and I believe good for your body. You can be as extreme as you want about it and some carbs are healthy (beans, sweet potato, etc.) and you will want to add them back into your diet eventually.

The only diet that works for me is zero carb.I have no more out of control cravings,sleep is   

full 8 hours rested.I feel good,have energy and clarity.Losing weight from withdrawal bizarre eating.

 

I can't use food as entertainment,I get all kinds of problems.Tried paleo,low carb,keto but they didn't stop the benzo brain problems.High fat & protein do the trick.

 

Food as medicine.

I second that.  I go zero carb intermittently also.  It works great.

By zero carb do you mean zero potatos etc as well as processed breads and pastas etc?

Eating animal products only.In my case,I eat meat,fat,water.A 30 day trial has cleared up all health problems so I will stick to it.Nice and easy,Food is medicine rather than entertainment.

 

Here are sites that have folks explain how it works for them.

Wow, I may have to do a little research and try that.  Any relief is beneficial, especially if it's helping building your gaba receptors back . There's my 🐶

Mostly meat, cheese, and eggs. Heavy cream, butter, oils, and nuts. Add berries and green veggies when you're at your desired weight. Keto recommends under 20g carbs. It is a very low carb, medium protein, high fat diet.
