Reddit reviews Keto: The Complete Guide to Success on The Ketogenic Diet, including Simplified Science and No-cook Meal Plans (1)

So I have this book that explains the best way to go about Keto for various preexisting conditions and depression is one of them.

IIRC, they say that Keto helps with depression because it’s gluten free. They mention that in eastern medicine, a similar diet is usually the first thing prescribed for depression and they see a lot of success that way.

My sister and I both live with medication resistant dysthymia, and both go through periods where it escalates into full blown depression. I had the same effects you’re describing on Keto, so I recommended she try it to help her depression as well. She is super skinny and not looking to lose any weight, and also pescatarian so she was struggling to come up with a meal plan that wouldn’t break the bank (can’t afford to eat salmon every day). Anyway, after reading that book she decided to try a gluten free diet first—and it works! She feels great. Even planned and went on an international trip this month which she never would’ve had the mindset to do before.

So through this very unscientific experiment I’m pretty sure it’s the gluten you’re not eating that’s giving you relief from the depression. Pretty cool if you ask me!

This is the book if anyone would like to read it.

I know theres a couple of books out there that have a full 30 day meal plan in them. I know nothing about macros really and don't know if these books would help you. :-(

Beginners Guide

I have another one in this series for insulin resistance- it's not keto, but the recipes are phenomenal. My sister's had the same experience with the migraine relief one.
