I lost a lot of weight on ketosis several years ago but could not maintain the diet and gained it all back shortly after. Since then I've found something that works better for my body that I can sustain which keeps some of the principles of keto.

I no longer limit my carbs, but when I eat carbs they come from rice and potatoes instead of wheat because I wore a CGM for two-week periods of time multiple times last year and the year prior and found that wheat was always the number one culprit spiking my blood sugar which would result in massive carb crashes, which overall affected my energy levels which snowball into negative second-order effects on my feelings of productivity and mood.

Interesting, I ended in the same position but just from observing myself.

I'm envious of people who can realize these things about themselves. For me, I almost always need concrete data to make me stop and think about how I'm feeling and put two and two together. Otherwise my scatterbrain is thinking about anything and everything else.
