Ketosis will likely be what I credit for saving my marriage and actual life once science catches up with reasoning. The last year for me has been profound. Cluster headaches are mental warfare and ketosis has played a major role in my body's ability to chill the hell out. Can't wait to see more research here.

I started with intermittent fasting (16H) and I reached ketosis within a few days. I've been on lchf/atkins before, but getting there via fasting was easier and less brain-fog. Being in ketosis is such a drastic difference in energy and mental clarity that it's ridiculous.

I'm also doing the 16/8 IF schedule, but I honestly don't feel like I am able to enter ketosis. However, I do have better sleep and I would say more energy. It also helps me to limit "junk" intake.

Restricting meal hours made me realise that eating junk is worse than not eating at all

How often and how much I eat during non-IF matters a lot.

But doing regular Huel Black sizes (2-3 Scoops) 2x/day and I'll easily be within keto, sometimes it's too little energy though so I combine it with 2 eggs (organic).

The surprising benefit that I noticed on a keto diet was the lack of joint pain.
