Keto diet - anyone else?

Has anyone found blurry eyesight to be a side effect of the Keto diet ?
No but without being alarmist or going into too much detail, changing vision acuity can often be a sign of blood glucose swings in either direction. In this instance it could potentially indicate a sharp drop from previous fairly consistent highs.Someone on here noted recently that they noticed improved vision when starting keto and I offered a similar word of warning but I don’t recall any follow-up comments from the poster.

This is wholly inline with my own personal experience. No one in my healthcare ‘team’ had ever mentioned ketosis to me during my first year with T2DM. I had only ever been given the official dietary advice of a low-fat healthy whole grain approach (the one that nearly killed me).
With that in my mind I was fully expecting to be widely ridiculed when revealing that the cause of my complete symptom reversal was the adoption of nutritional ketosis. Instead, the reaction was one of complete but unspoken approval. Both my nurse and GP seemed extremely impressed with my decision and my progress. But at the same time it was clear to me that neither were officially allowed to show approval of the “K” word.
No doubt it’s a taboo subject in medical school, an establishment which of course could never be influenced by industry science. Oh no sir
One thing I was not aware of until recently was just how much refusal to consider new ideas as our knowledge expands to suggest them there is in scientific circles, humans are so idiotic.With that in my mind I was fully expecting to be widely ridiculed when revealing that the cause of my complete symptom reversal was the adoption of nutritional ketosis.

From what I’ve been reading, the few scientists who stand up to be counted and begin heavily questioning the current dietary ideas, often find themselves out of a job or cut off from funding and never do anything worthwhile ever again. Someone pays for science, and the motives of those paying for it are often unknown or downright blatantly biased.The real issue is that people tend to consider it solely as a noble endeavour that can never do wrong. Science is wonderful, but just like everything else in life, it’s corruptible and susceptible to influence. History is also littered with science being proven wrong, which is after all pretty much the definition of the pursuit, but people have a short memory and believe that whatever they’re currently being told is the inscrutable truth. Even if it appears to change every year

I've been on a keto diet for a couple of weeks now, I'm not overweight or diabetic but after reading this thread and info elsewhere I am interested to see how cutting out carbs affects my body. We seem to be assaulted by carbohydrates and sugar these days and I just fancied kicking against them.Someone on here noted recently that they noticed improved vision when starting keto and I offered a similar word of warning but I don’t recall any follow-up comments from the poster.
I've had blurry vision very occasionally in the past and I've put it down to tiredness. With the keto the blurriness is usually when I'm tired but almost everyday, later in the evening.
I can't see how eating healthily would be detrimental to my eyesight and I'm thinking it's just a phase whilst my body adjusts.

I expect a lot of MSM scare stories about keto now it is becoming mainstream. And "carnivore" is getting some attention too. They will try to do what they did to Atkins, and saturated fat, and salt.LordGrover said:
Does carnivorous diet allow dairy, esp. cheeses?
Yeah, cheese and eggs are fine, but I am trying it "properly" for a month to get a feel for the baseline before adding other foods back in, like an elimination diet. So, beef and water, and I use a little butter and salt. I even gave up coffee, and I'm normally a double expresso guy!https://meat.health/knowledge-base/carnivore-diet-...
Has anyone suffered after having eating carbs?
I have been restricting carb intake since January and generally manage to stick to it, but I visited family recently and they served up lasagne for dinner.
That night and the whole of the next day I had really bad stomach pain like never before and wondering if I have ended up giving myself issues somehow..

If I have too much carbs, I will usually have wind the following morning. If it's something really sweet, I've even felt a little dizzy/odd about an hour later.I have been restricting carb intake since January and generally manage to stick to it, but I visited family recently and they served up lasagne for dinner.

I've had that the last couple of days as I've been away on a course so have had little control over what I've been eating.

I imagine this may be more to do with re-exposure to wheat, than carbohydrate per se. Although I suppose in the wider context the two can be considered pretty much one-in-the-same.I have been restricting carb intake since January and generally manage to stick to it, but I visited family recently and they served up lasagne for dinner.
