what are some diets that are beneficial and fairly doable for those w anxiety and OCD? I saw a post about paleo down below, are there any others?

@0823 Keto is definitely more of an “i need to lose weight quickly” diet than a health diet. My mum’s a nurse and the two of us looked into it a while ago. If you do it for a long period of time, you run the risk of kidney failure, which is crazy! I definitely agree that just eating a healthy balanced diet is helpful, but also cutting down on sugar can be helpful as sugar naturally makes us a bit jittery :)

@TabbyKitty I had no idea it ran the risk of causing kidney failure! My mom talked to a nutritionist about it and she didn’t think she needed to do it. And yes, definitely agree with the sugar intake! :) i can see a difference in my anxiety levels when I have a lot of sugar. I’m always like wait what’s going on and then I’ll remember I had like ice cream or something and I’m like oh yeah I shouldn’t do that lol

I think just eating a balanced diet will be helpful, making sure you’re not deficient in vitamins or minerals. I read somewhere that eating 4-6 roasted garlic cloves a day can heal your body but I think they meant physical ailments. Though, physical health is related to mental health, so I might try it! Just try to make healthy eating choices and drink plenty of water, but if you wanna try a different diet I have read keto is helpful too, but I think some doctors and nutritionists find it unrealistic.

thank you all so much!!!!!!
