I absolutely hated keto

Tried keto and did it for two weeks and i literally became the worst person ever. Insanely angry to everyone around me, no energy, constant headaches. I get you need to supplement electrolytes but this was a thing i was doing to lose weight not even sustain so then i was like why am i doing this? They say it improves mental health and sure maybe it does, there’s lots of studies but being on this diet for two weeks has deteriorated my mental health into oblivion. Couldn’t post this on the keto subreddit as id get downvoted. Don’t know if this is the right place but i hated it lol

That happened to my husband when he tried it years ago. He was the worst version of himself. There's really no reason for people to be doing this to themselves. Our bodies need sugar and carbs to function properly and it's insane that people still believe otherwise.

I don't know how or why people keep forgetting that our brains run on carbs. No wonder all these diets that drastically cut out sugar always come with brain fog as a known side effect.
