I'm not tracking food anymore
I'm testing out moving away from meticulously weighing and tracking all of my food through Cronometer. In this vlog, I share why I'm making this transition, what I'm doing to hopefully make it successful, and how it goes.

I know how she is feeling I also suffer schizoeffecto disorder severe anxiety I get psychosis and hulucnations I suffer insomnia ptsd
Yes they take everything from you I know I was in a phys place for 3 days
Wow that's insane. And by that I mean, you are not insane. They are.
I MEAN YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. PLEASE WATCH IT
Y do u claim u suffer from it yet ur using others videos and claiming u know it all yet ur words show u feed from the video I feel like ur lying sorry but u claim u suffer from it yet no proof u do and u play other ppls videos from the 60’s to claim u know it all it’s sick and sad what ppl claim to seek attention and make money… listening to u u can tell u suffer nothing and ur babbling off some bs
Oh bless you. That dialogue between you two when you were saying there's nothing to do seemed really unhealthy, analyze that some, you deserve the best for your own well being. I hope everything gets better, mental health really sucks x
We would love proof of ur disorder now a days anyone and everyone lies so this is what it’s come down to if u don’t have proof themat u suffer from it or that ur a professional other wise for anyone who knows if ur a liar period
Ok im going to give it a try! I can barely get out of bed at the moment, this is not the life I want.
You have such a cute baby!! So so sweet
Hi Michele!! Congratulations, Ken!! ❤🇨🇦
Thank you so much for all your videos!
Im schizoaffective and the last one was so accurate :( i myself am not on meds and ive been told im high functioning because I dont have much outbursts, but my psychosis happens all the time, i picture things and here things all the time its like something is always around me and i always feel like someone is watching or following me.. the thing is when i get mad i get very mad easily but i always try to keep myself calm. Everyone says i seem very calm but growing up with a schizo mom im assuming ive learned how to mask it and not show my emotions.. im 23 now and it really sucks its very mentally draining and im a college student so its a lot lol but i hope to graduate
I honestly dont like that the doc asks the same questions again and again. Like, "why are you in the hospital?" Clearly the guy knows his patient is struggling to understand or communicate about his condition. I think it just frustrated him for no reason. Or, for the benefit of whoever this video was filmed for. I have so much love in my heart for this man and hope the rest of his life was filled with compassion and understanding.
Actually, cortisol levels increase when you are sick and cortisol is known to increase blood glucose levels. Infections are a very common hyperglycemia trigger in people with diabetes, but it also increases glucose in nondiabetic patients.
Have u tried Berberine supplements? Saw huge difference with my family member, she used to have an episode on a monthly episode even with her meds. But since starting Berberine i noticed there was no episode. If my analysis is correct the cause of the mental issues are actually parasites
is me thinking that I really did blow my brains out as a kid and am stuck in a coma a effect or sign of psychosis?
A lot of these delusions, I have as well. Thank you for sharing your story and your experience with us!
But then again ive only been hospitalized 5 times and never while i was working... i dont take mental health days i focus better at work. This lady shouldnt work or learn how to focus.
Ive had 5 jobs with schitzoeffective disorder, the best job was as a janitor for a jym.
Severly off topic, but you look exactly like my friend from high school
Hi! I have BPD and my Dr says I have syntomps of schizophrenia, I haven't ask him about this but I think he might refer to small psychotic episodes and stuff, which makes me think does he refear to the DSM5 diagnosis on : Unspecified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder, if you could talk about that could be really helpful!!
Blood glucose is highly variable from hour to hour! Unless you have symptoms of diabetes and a doctor recommends it, I do not recommend ANYONE tracking their glucose level. It will just cause you unnecessary concerns. Check with your Dr!
I appreciate your honesty and willingness to continue evolving in your approach to managing your health. <3
I advise you guys to follow Dr. Zakir Naik ❤
Keto haters be like: StoP TalKiNG AbOut KEto FAd!!
all these symptoms sound exactly like OCD, the thoughts, feelings and sensations all feel real... but of course its confusing as hell to know if you have OCD or psychosis or schizophrenia
As someone who was considering going in to get help for the same thing, please know your videos mean alot to me. I don't want to hurt anyone. So thank you for helping me make a really difficult choice.
you look less healthy to me, sweet girl...I grew up on strict dieting and it messed my brain, which is why I'm always scared of strict diets. Esp when we already struggle mentally.
Thank you. You don't know how much this helped.
I smoked THC and my mind and thinking hasnt been the same for the past 2 years, im always paranoid and think im the worst person and people are always talking bad about me non stop and have non stop intrusive thoughts. Ive been treating it as anxiety/OCD but dont know if its something like a psychotic break after long term THC. any advice?
Have you talked to a doctor? From what I understand, this diet she is on treats depression/anxiety also. Btw, it is known that chronic use of cannabis can lead to psychotic disorders.
@@ning774 yeah booked psychiatrist oppointment, ill see what happens
surprisingly i relate to a lot of these
I didn't think you blink excessively. didn't notice that. I only notice when your speech feels stressed. I'm sorry this sounds judge-y. I've watched a dozen or so videos and I am not nitpicking at all, when I type a comment you need to say something though so comments aren't usually an accurate reflection of what the viewers are getting from watching. Thank you for this! I like how you think through both sides and you are very accepting and open minded. you have a desire for order and it's shows it may not be scientific method as I see it but you are doing a fantastic job on this journey. Your family is very well put together and seem to be successful and I love seeing you talk about real struggle while maintaining a healthy/even admirable balance.
My mom has done low carb/keto for a long time. She's 63 and has a calcium score of 0, while the rest in our family have quite high calcium scores.
Did you tried Carnivore Diet? only heard positive thing about that diet.
Thank you for your share. I pray you got relief soon. You are AMAZING to share your journey with this illness. My grandson recently has been diagnosed schizophrenic. I appreciate your posts. ❤️🙏🙏
Thinking that insects were spying on me created by the government
I am so glad you did it 🤩
I am watching 😂this in inintervals...beautiful family😢😊
You been gassy lol😂
This puts into perspective what my sister might be going through. 🤔 It's usually hard to trust sources & find anyone to reliably talk about it. Thanks for this. 👍🏼
Ou I'm also 32 with a schizoaffective diagnosis and just started keto two weeks ago to (currently of meds since November) I try to lift weight and walk on treadmill 2-3 times a week. Since starting I've lost 6lbs, my mind isn't racing as much my jaw isn't tense and genuinely feeling more positive. I also noticed I've started sleeping later then usual and you mentioning could be mania creeping in, I never thought of this! 🤔
Put em away
11 is a good number for me . Twelve is also a good number.
Schizophrenia doesn't make you shy and unable to speak to people in an articulate intellectual way on RUclips I guess. I can't do what you're doing in this video and I don't have schizophrenia. You're extremely competent.

Thank you so much for this information ❤❤❤❤❤
I thought she was doing better w her keto dieet
Hi Lauren! It's true, I have observed the same. The ketones levels readings on the continuous monitor, decrease with time, and I think that not in a linear way, they are lower and lower and lower till you implant the next continuous monitor, and then instantly rise . It's a pity
Damn you look crasy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But these are also the CFS symptoms... and the 'religious obsessions'...ohh..come on..
Thanks so much for sharing ❤
