I recently decided to treat carbs like cigarettes and just stay away.
Like no bread, pasta, or even potatoes or added sugar to anything.
I even limit fruit to 1 serving and milk to 1 cup
My diet is basically cauliflower rice, zucchini pasta, chicken, these weird "muffins" that are like ricotta, these special "pancakes" that are basically whey protein powder. Sometimes some peanuts, just basically stuff like that. I had 3 dates today though.
None of the traditional carbs we think about on the bottom of the food pyramid
I've honestly never looked better, and I'm not saying that to brag. I by no means have the perfect body, not even close.
But I've really burned a lot of fat off. I make sure to walk everyday and do as much resistance training as I can (which isn't much)
Now here's the kicker:
I don't have any anxiety. Things that used to irk me or make me nervous I am apathetic to. Like I just don't care about stuff like I used to. I'm overall much calmer as a result bc I simply don't give a crap about things like I used to. I had quit caffeine at one point but drink a lot of it again now but no issues at all.
I don't know if other people have similar experience or not, but just wanted to ask.
I did do a google search and it seems like keto can reduce anxiety- something about "GABA" but thought I'd try to get feedback from real people rather than just google
EDIT: I do eat a pizza once a week though and that's my only cheat meal
