4. I was Hypertensive Crisis, went on Keto-16Grams/Day Diet and 3 months later returned to normal.

I went to an 18-6 Intermittent Diet, which is quite easy to do (eat dinner, coffee for breakfast as an appetite suppressant and poof, it's 2PM). By the 3rd month, I lost 20 lbs and that started to bring everything back to normal. By month 5, the floaters in my eyes disappeared. It took 8 months for my fatty liver to repair itself. In all, I dropped over 50lbs in less than a year and returned to my weight I was 30 years ago.

I chose Keto 16 Grams because everyone goes into and out of ketosis at different gram levels, but everyone is in ketosis if you eat only 16 grams of carbs per day. I also discovered a neat hack. After being on it for 2 months, you can have a cheat meal every 2-3 days and it won't kick you out of it, but if you do kick out of it, you just resume it and you'll switch back into it quickly.

When COVID hit, I did not know if the Keto diet was good for it, which it turns out is is. But I went back to a carb diet and gained weight back, then sleep apenea tripped AFib and now I am back on Keto again and trying to repair my body. I never should have gone off of it. It only took 2 years to fuck my body up by returning to a 'conventional' diet.
