 I would like to go on with keto diet, but I always fail. I lose weight every time I try it, and I don't want to lose weight. For those skinny people would a low carb be better? 
 i guess so but i'm just on a fast, 3rd day in, digestive system completely empty, liver is going nuts converting fats to ketones, my body feels warmer than normal, like, a LOT warmer

i can do with losing some weight, since the diabetes symptoms became obvious i put on a lot of weight, but at the same time lost muscle strength and developed serious problems with cramping as well

the state of my health is horrendous, so, i'm like, time for a Great Reset lol... 

but then, if i am in ketosis, i can eat meat without having a reversion to sugar metabolism unless i have too much protein

that's part of the reason why i am just gonna keep on the fast for at least another 4 days

i'm sure after a couple days like this my system will be starting to get more adjusted and i can deal with the rise in blood sugar from small amounts of carbs without losing the benefit of keto

but from what i read, it actually does take 2 weeks to fully transition, before the severe ketosis and mental fog and headache and cramps and all that stuff stops

i should be trying to stay in a work-capable state but i felt half dead before i started this fast as it was
