Aerialist/celiac/starting Keto, new to MFP, looking for pals

katiplease

Hello, y'all! I'm starting an autoimmune protocol paleo diet adapted for keto this week with the encouragement of a doctor to help treat severe ADHD and TLE-seizure-like activity, and hopefully to help lose the 15lbs I've gained since stopping adderall

I have celiac disease (a year and a half gluten free, not counting multiple gluten challenges in an effort to get a harder diagnosis than just by response to diet -_-) and encountered keto when researching certain aspects of paleo recently. I was fascinated by the fat-burning aspect, as someone who's always been varying degrees of skinny fat (BF% has never tested lower than 30%) with a hard time losing it, but was especially intrigued by the affects on brain activity (and my therapist agreed).

I'm also an aspiring dancer - I've been taking competitive style pole lessons on and off for a few years, but never really got as into it as I wanted to be. But as soon as I get past the keto flu I plan to start strength training again and, once my core strength is less pathetic, start going to both pole and aerial silks lessons again.

So if anyone else out there is embarking on keto and wants another MFP friend in their support system, or anyone interested in aerial and pole (or both!), feel free to add me! Making my food diary public tomorrow. Hope we can share advice and get healthier together :glasses:
