Hi Hive account@xrayman,

I was facing somewhat similar struggles the last couple of weeks: walking up chronically tired, dealing with mental fog at work, making decisions made on emotions (irritation, anger, frustration) rather than on good rational judgement, earning too much to compensate for the stress I was feeling and thus gaining extra weight, while at the same time feeling too tired to go and exercise after work...

It got to a very bad point, when my manager was seriously dissatisfied with my with decisions and actions and work. My wife told me to lose extra weight. And me feeling unhappy about myself, about my mental and physical shape.

Enough was enough. Last Saturday I made a decision to go back to keto diet and resume fasting three days a week. The results were almost immediate. The mental fog lifted. Emotions stabilised. Anger and frustration dissipated. Cravings for food stopped. I no longer felt like a zombie the first couple of hours after waking up. I had a breakthrough at work with multiple changes that I was pushing for for weeks so happening at once. I went to the gym twice during the week. And I lost 2.5 kg since last Saturday.

Was it very easy to do? No. But was it worth it? Most definitely! It's amazing how simple changes in nutrition and timing of meals can make a huge physical, mental, and emotional impact on our lives. For better or worse.
