Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The reason why he sleeps a lot and has a hard time waking up could be because he's still growing, or sugar high and low, or his diet involves not eating for a long period of time and then eat and the body is preserving energy by making him sleep more..
I've been on ketosis for 6 months and since then I've woken up right away every morning, no more dragging my butt if you know what I mean. I have lots of energy and much calmer now. Pretty much got rid of my anxiety without any pills. I also never took any medications whatsoever..only ivermectin once in awhile.
Thank you.
Are you fasting to initiate ketosis, or is it a high protein diet that gets the body to do that?
I fasted 17 hours to kickstart the ketosis and then started just eating meat, eggs, bacon, fish, yeah basically protein diet. I suggest getting the urine strip keto test on amazon for $10 to test if you're in ketosis, and then to maintain it, as long as you can limit to 50 grams of sugar/carbs, you should stay in ketosis.
50 grams of carbs/sugar is like 2 spoons of rice or this is the one from Google:
Bread: Around 2 to 3 slices of white or whole wheat bread typically contain around 50g of carbohydrates. Oats: Approximately 50g of dry oats (about 1/2 cup) provides around 50g of carbohydrates. Fruits: Consuming around 2 medium-sized bananas or 3 medium-sized apples can give you close to 50g of carbohydrates.
This is one of my fav channels explaining the keto-carnivore diet and how many lives have been saved and pills and medical conditions cured. There are many others.. just gotta watch all the videos and then try and see what works for you.

This is great info. Thank you very much.
I'll research and share with him. Maybe I'll start him on Ivermectin first in case he has any hungry parasites trying to take over his gut.
God Bless and good luck of your Keto journey!
You're very welcome, and God bless you and your son!
You're right about the ivermectin. One more tip- Sauerkraut is really good to replenish gut bacteria, especially for people who take antibiotics all the time as those kill their gut bacterias. I read that just a spoon of sauerkraut a day is sufficient for a healthy gut.It also cures most stomachache/indigestion/heartburn.
