This can't just be placebo right? I haven't felt this good mentally in like 10 years
Its not placebo
Your intelligence has dropped 25% and you are now much less cynical and worried. Congratulations
>>36247321
Its cause you're already killing yourself m8
>>36247321
placebo is an actual physical effect triggered by the mind dumbass. Even if it is placebo it's real. Jesus placebo effect is more understood than putin.
probably because you're the type of guy who is completely non-goal orientated.
you never progress at anything at life, you just sort of 'exist' day to day.
so now that you're following a goal, and probably seeing results, this is causing a wave of motivation and good feelings.
>>36247321
were you depressed because of epilepsy?
>>36247351
This is somewhat correct
>>36247336
actually I'm quite a lot more alert and aware
>>36247351
Probably this
Cutting grains, especially the type of enriched bleached flour grains you find in markets, does wonders for most people. Humans aren't meant to consume that much fucking grain on a daily basis, even when it's 100% whole grain.

When you do keto you're almost literally getting high on GHB, feels good man

>>36247393
It does feel fucking good man. I can't remember the last time I felt content with life except for when I was stoned. It's so weird being able to be like "yeah, life's alright" internally after being depressed for so long.
>>36247351
>>36247379
>>36247393
some combination of these three things imo
>>36247415
Good for you man, I've had depression before but only a mild episode, if keto is working for you then keep at it, it's a lot healthier than those erection destroying SSRI's, just make sure you don't end up deficient in some nutrient like omega 3 since that's pretty common on keto
maybe you just work better on keto
some people get ridiculously depressed under 100g carbs daily
try it and find out what works for you
Sure it's not a chicken and eggs problem? You started dieting because you wanted to improve, and depressed people don't just start dieting. So, you began your diet because you had already started to improve, and not the other way around. Makes sense? But I'd bet my money that you are just high from doing something new. If someone made me believe that doing X would make me feel better, I'd probably feel better from doing X.
>>36247415
take advantage of this feeling to start doing some exercise regularly. depression should be kicked...
>>36247520
So you are saying we get omega-3 from carbohydrates? That's a new one.
>>36247350
If the mind stresses itself out it triggers a physiological response that increases cortisol. But, if you somehow increase the cortisol levels, subsequently the mind would feel stressed. I'm not sure what your point is.
>>36247569
No, it's just that for a lot of people keto means eating tons of cheese, bacon and steaks, thus getting shitloads of omega 6 and saturated fat but comparatively little omega 3
>>36247351
>when this is you
>>36247564
I do. My body actually can't keep up with my level of motivation.
>>36247597
>cheese, bacon and steaks
None of these are high in omega-6. Animal fats are high in saturated fat and omega-9s or monounsaturated fats, but low in polyunsaturated fats.
>>36247630
Depends on diet, grass fed beef has higher levels of omega 3(comparable to wild salmon) whereas grain fed beef is much higher in omega 6
>>36247608
well yeah, that is literally one of the most common causes of non clinical depression.
if you just sit around on the computer, go to the gym and not talking to anyone, come home, go back on the computer, and then sleep.
you will become depressed guaranteed.
the sensations of lethargy/apathy is what depression is for most people.

>>36247973
.. just get goals and work towards them.
that's all your brain wants.
>>36248037
tfw no gf tho
literally haven't talked to a girl in a social situation in 1 year
>>36247934
thanks for sharing that reality check mate
>>36248068
ok
are you trying at all?
>>36248147
Nah, also have no friends since they all moved away.
Not asking for sympathy, I could get a girl like any other dude on the planet if I actually tried. But jacking off, lifting, and trying to get shredded satiates me for right now.
>>36247321
Congrats man. Keto is fuckin great and I'm glad it works for you. Keep going
>>36248169
> But jacking off, lifting, and trying to get shredded satiates me for right now.
but wasn't your post implying you're depressed because it's not enough?
i mean low levels of depression aren't going to kill you, before it starts to negatively effect daily activities that is.
but I mean you've self identified a problem.
>>36248214
I'm not actually depressed I just wanted to post a feels pic
>>36247351
>tfw dark revelations
>>36247321
Keto is so fucking good man. I've lost heaps of weight on it. It's the only diet that doesn't make me depressed and gives me shitloads of energy.
>>36247934
Fug why does this have to be me.
Pic related: me in a year or two
>>36247934
Shieeeeeet
>>36247673
Oh please you cocky faggot.
Almost nobody has unlimited access to legitimately pasture finished meat.
Even if you do, most of the ranchers are retards who have no idea why grass fed is good and only do it for shekels, and if you ask them they will tell you they grain/feedlot finish the meat for a solid full year thus negating all the benefits of pasturing them.
No matter how you slice it, the "le organic meat is better xD" meme is true yet false: finding actual meat of that quality is like finding a unicorn unless you actually get your ass out into the woods and murder an elk yourself once a year and live off of it for the rest of the year.
Keto seems cool but I never want to do it because keto breath and keto b.o. are gnar
>>36248781
My family own three farms and several thousand breeding cattle, this is false anon, organic food is highly regulated these days, we sell our meat to slaughterhouses and they feed it grain for a max of 30 days before slaughter(modern grain often has linseed in it specifically to increase omega 3 levels tho)
>>36249113
Straya?
>>36247321
It's a euphoric high that you get when you stick to a diet. It happens to me all the time <3
>>36248169
I'm the same actually.
I use things like porn, video games and drinking to run from my problems.
I feel like I have no closeness, or likeness to my friends anymore, and they arent the going out type.
I feel stuck in life.
>>36247934
this time next year i'll be in my own place in a whole new environment with constant exposure to all sorts of social stuff (college campus with 100% normie roommates)
if that doesn't help me, i'll prob just an hero
>>36248644
Please no, anon. :)
>>36247321
you're so fucking depressed going on keto put you over the edge and it somehow shot back to "feels good man".
>>36247321
You've probably reduced a lot of inflammation in the brain which is linked to depression.
Same happened to me doing intermittent fasting. After two weeks I just suddenly stopped being depressed, despite having been so for 2 years.
>>36247934
>tfw this has been your past 5 years
I need to get out
