Why?

So why would anyone want to give up the edible seduction of carbohydrates?

Well, ideally, I wouldn't. Ideally, I wouldn't have Celiac, food allergies, sensory processing disorder, hypermobility, chronic pain, mucle fasciculations and cramps, blood sugar problems, balance issues, migraines, endocrine issues, or hormonal problems. Ideally, I'd live a perfectly routine life.

But alas, that isn't this timeline.

My dad, who has several of the same issues I do, went keto last year. He feels fantastic. And I'm really, *really* tired of feeling shitty with no recourse or options.

So let's try this. I'm fully prepared to feel like crap for 2 weeks (it has been 8 years, what is 2 more weeks) but dreading the psychological addiction to sugar, which is 110%. I love sugar, candy, fruit, starches, pastries, confections, all of it, all the time. It is a source of comfort, a burst of joy wrapped in a sweet sensory experience.

It isn't for forever, and if it doesn't make any difference in 8 weeks, by April 1st, I'll stop.

This will be my written record, accountability, and journal. I'll be tracking macros and also using a blood ketone monitor.
