!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Going keto can be hard. But you can try eating clean keto for two meals, and then having a normal carb meal socially. That limits your carbohydrate intake to a small window per day. Your body processes it out of your system and three or four hours. So most of the day your body's working in keto.
It's hard to do, because you're constantly going to be craving, but it's more socially acceptable especially when you're living with a feeder.
I really like metrics, so I got a keto mojo, and I can measure my blood ketone levels everyday. Helps me stay on track. If you like data that might be an option for you
Some great tips there, very much appreciated. I'm fairly ignorant re keto so will do some reading up on it, if you have any resources to hand I'd be interested to read them
I think https://charliefoundation.org/ is a good intro
I recently did another round of keto. It was very easy to search up starter diet plans, and recommendations (and plenty of folks will sell you their goods and services ) and just start doing it.
There will be an adjustment time at the start , look up keto flu. It's mostly just being grumpy.
Keto-ade can be great for taking the edge off keto flu. It's basically a home-made concentrated sports drink - artificial sweetener, potassium & magnesium salts and a lot of water. All the fluid & electrolytes help your kidneys filter out the metabolized fat that would otherwise linger in your bloodstream.
In addition: you don't have to spend any money to do keto, in this post below there's a diet cheat sheet, just print that out and follow it's pretty easy. All the data's on the web, YouTube as well. Happy to answer any questions you got, this was my pandemic passion project, so I did a ton of research while diving into solve a high blood pressure issue myself. And it did work I don't have high blood pressure anymore
diet doctor is an excellent resource. Everyone of their articles and pages has citations and references. Just hover over the number. You don't have to sign up for anything, in fact I never did. But it's a great resource regardless of their slightly slick marketing veneer
The book fat lot of good is a great resource. Especially this pdf food guide
If you have medical issues and want to be help adjusting to keto while treating them : morbid obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure... Virta health is a great medical, paid coaching platform. They'll help you titrate down medications as you ramp up on keto
The only thing I actually recommend you buy, is the keto mojo, but that's because I'm a data-driven person and I like to see figures to keep me honest. Keto mojo
Excellent fun reading, but not required at all, is why we get sick you can find it on the high seas pretty easily as well. You don't have to buy it. It's just motivation around the mechanics.
And if you're like me, and listen to medical lectures while driving, working out, walking.. I highly recommend low carb down under a medical lecture YouTube channel with real doctors from mostly Australia. But they dive into the various mechanisms
