I’m not talking about while you’re eating, I’m talking about during the next couple hours after over eating. A food coma is absolutely the same feeling as a good high from some drugs. After eating a way too huge meal and laying on the couch i feel soooooo relaxed and floaty and drifting in and out of heavy sleep.

    Keto is able to help by filling your diet with things that keep you feeling full (protein and fat) and giving you some straightforward rules that keep you eating those things, which makes you not hungry as often and forces you to have some discipline around eating.

    I would also add that keto also removes glucose spikes->insulin spikes->glucose dips, removes lots of the low energy hangry loops that most people are stuck in.

    You can still get cravings and noise on a keto diet though if your nutrition is off.

    Sure, that would just be biologically appropriate hunger, since the nutrition is off and the body wants more nutrition.

    I’ve actually done keto before, the strict rules were helpful discipline-wise, but I was able to get all of the same benefits without actually being in ketosis

    Fantastic!

    By trying to keep myself eating foods that keep me full, by avoiding binging and keeping my habits in check, and by getting rid of refined carbs (pasta and sugar are the worst, it’s like you didn’t even eat anything) I’ve been able to keep my diet in check pretty well.

    Did keto not keep you feeling full?

    Also be careful about saturated fats long-term. It can be bad for your heart if they make up too much of your diet.

    Thanks for bringing that up. My reading of the literature has satisfied me that in the absence of elevated glucose and metabolic disease saturated fats are actually quite healthy and not a long term health risk (at least for myself).
