So let's start by describing your symptoms. Where is the rash? Is it all over or concentrated on certain parts of your body? Does it itch? I can understand why you might not be sure which it is, a keto rash or a histamine intolerance, since symptoms of the two can be similar. I wouldn't do this. Like @Geezy said, fat is your energy. I would still aim for 70% of your calories coming from fat and 30% coming from protein (this is acheived by basically eat 1g of fat for every 1g of protein). According to Dr. Boz, on variant of a Keto rash in an inflammation caused by little "critters" living in your skin that love glucose. If you are not eating enough fat, then your body will be working overtime to convert protein into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. It's as if you are eating carbs. They were initially starved when you started keto, but when you decided to lower the fat, your glucose production may have went up, and these little guys got excited and started multiplying. I'm not sure if I buy that, but she makes it make sense. If you are actively losing weight and burning your body fat, these could actually have toxins or histamines stored in them, which are being released into your blood stream. Again, where is the rash? Centrally located? Or all over? Some thoughts on how to test this yourself include adding back in 50-100 carbs a day for the next 2 weeks by adding fruit. This is called an "animal-based" carnivore diet (for whatever reason, lol). But STILL EAT the eggs, steak, and whatever else you have been eating. If it's keto rash, symptoms should alleviate and you can then try again with cutting the plants out. If it's histamines I wouldn't expect any changes. For keto rash, topical steroids will help for itching and oral antibiotics with help with inflammation. To test for histamines, aim for the freshest meat possible, straight from the butcher. Grocery store meat will have been hung and aged for weeks before packaging. Avoid jerky, canned meats, etc. For histamines, an antihistamine will help alleviate the itch. So if antihistamines help, your problem leans towards histamine intolerance. If hydrocortisone cream and an antibiotic help, then it's more likely keto rash.
comment_716It's been 34 days since I started, I had a few ups and downs in terms of feeling because of low-quality meat and the wrong ratio of beef to fat.
Now I feel amazing compared to before starting, I kept an eye on this diet for over a year, never imagined it could actually have these crazy results.
Anyway, I eat about 1kg ground beef 70/30 a day with 4-5 eggs, I will slow-cook brisket or asado and have it for a day or two.
So, should I add any supplements? I bought Redmond real salt and I have imalaya pink salt.
I understood that maybe I should add omega 3 and omega 6, maybe salmon oil - I have sensitive eyes and chronic problems, and I read that it can help
Also, I saw people recommending cod liver oil or pills.
And I saw a bunch of stuff like collagen, multi-vitamin, etc...
From your experience, do you have any supplements to recommend that will make me feel even better?
maybe will help with my eyes or problems in my neck and cervical myelopathy(I have electric pulses going around my arms and legs)? or sacroelitis? all that was caused by a car accident.
Thanks in advance.
