Carnivore diet will get you into ketosis. I believe this is the sole reason why it alleviates health issues.

Furthermore, you don't need to be a carnivore to achieve ketosis.

You have more options:

- water fasting (limited amount of studies; but humans in the ancient past did practice water-only fasting) - another form: Buchinger fast, where you limit your calorie intake to 500 kcal. You can drink juices such as coconut water. There is a clinic in Germany where people pay to fast. I think this is a littlle easier for people to get in. Helps you keep your electrolytes up (salt, Mg, K, Ca).

However, I am not sure if fasting alone will help you with a mental condition. It helps your body and brain though, but how much it will alleviate your mental issues is an open question.

I am also unsure if carnivore diet will be good overall for your body. Again, it is a way to get into ketosis, but there are more ways... I would argue more for less carbohydrates and more protein (tyrosine, tryptophane), if on a mental condition. Don't forget choline (acetylcholine). I vote for the Valter Longo approach.

Carnivore also reduces my tolerance for my meds. They last longer. In fact everything runs better for me on extremely low to zero carb. Mood, sleep, digestion, cardiac output, blood pressure, pulse rate, energy.
