So I've fallen off the wagon due to mental illnesses and I've never felt worse! I'm a diabetic so my body I swollen, it's painful to walk and this is just from eating a normal amount of carbs. So I'm starting "again" and I'm tired of the slow dreaded "one thing at a time" mindset. So I'm jumping in feet first. I'm attempting a 4 days fast to kick me into ketosis, before I start my keto diet & resume my running training.
Any tips or advice or even just emotional support (lol) would be highly appreciated.
I suffer with addiction, depression, anxiety and cptsd so I'm really struggling with the mental aspect of this process. But I so badly want to feel okay again, which is why I'm getting myself back on track with my best lifestyle.
I'm going to monitor myself closely, planning to go for a walk if I get overwhelmed or stressed or cravings. I'm not using electrolytes but I will drink atleast 4L water everyday. And maybe a pinch of salt if I get those headaches. Wish me luck!
