    We like to credit the Ketones, in some regard. A lot of us have actually found ourselves to be more level and such eating this way! Just getting away from the "hangries" help, too.

    I am reading Richard Feinman's "The World Turned Upside Down" now, and in Chapter 11 found this:
    "It is worth noting how well having level blood sugar makes me feel. When my blood sugar goes over 200 mg/dl, I start to feel melodramatic and have an elevated emotional response to even minor difficulties."

    This is so true of a lot of the people I know who struggle with weight loss!

    I work in a call center - I have no faith in humanity - people suck.

    You guys are okay though I guess. ;)

    I check my health challenge groups every few days, but this one daily. I love the shared scientific articles and supportive learning environment. Makes it so much easier to ride through a "plateau" and other issues. Hugs!!

    I am so glad I found this group. We are one big happy family and genuinely love and support each other. After I let the dogs out (at 3:00 am) I turn on the Keurig and the computer and can't wait to see what I missed since yesterday!!!

    I agree. I really enjoy this group. I check the discussions daily so I can continue to build on my knowledge and experience with Keto. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful.

    I feel like i have worked my way through every low carb support forum there is and this is a pretty good one. Been low carbing for about 10 years and i have found that low carbers are the most level headed and not really as gung ho as they perhaps should be! its that laid back ketosis high that makes us so relaxed and damn cool.

    Love this group too! I'm bummed when I'm too busy to check in daily. I always feel like I have to catch up on every thread that has new comments.....

    Agreed - totally love this group. I love that I can ask questions here that feel "wrong" anywhere else.

    My DH, being type II diabetic had a glaringly obvious reaction to his sugar imbalance - he became physically aggressive. Not violent - he never hit me or injured me - but we had a few breakages round the house - and on 2 separate occasions, actually gripped me round the neck.

    That's hard for me to admit, but I understood all along, it wasn't "him" - and he would be the first to admit the different incidents scared the bejeezus out of him too.....he got help.

    Now? He's on the LCHF lifestyle, and you wouldn't believe the transformation. He's a different person, and so much more mellow and totally good-natured.

    Proof positive of the above quotation.

    Whew. That's pretty compelling testimony! Glad he flipped the keto switch.
