I’ve experimented a lot with different diets. High protein low carb works for me usually. I decided to up my protein further to 200g a day as I’m lifting weights a lot and I wanted to see what difference it would make to add more protein. Now the problem is after a month of eating like this, I began to feel full constantly, and not really wanting to eat. Can anybody give me some advice if they have experienced this and fixed it, is it a case of just more fibre?

My doctor suggested I take less carbs since I'm pre-diabetic. I tried to search online what is considered a low-carb intake and most of the answers were considered Keto. I tried Keto in the past and I found it too hard for me to follow through. I also saw 'Under 100-150g is considered low carb'. I just want to make sure it's net carbs and not just overall. Do you guys know the answer?

I literally haven’t started because of how intimidated I am. I did keto for 30 days for my wedding day about 6 years ago, and it was so hard. I’ve grown up eating rice with everything, and rice is cheap so that’s mostly what I cook with a side of something. I don’t really snack, I don’t eat much sweets or high carb foods.. just.. a lot.. of rice. Now, I have PCOS and TTC (trying to conceive) for 6 years, with no luck. I heard low carb is good for women with PCOS. How do I start lowering my carb intake even? Cold turkey? Or do I decrease by day? My husband is also super willing to join me. I do love my steaks and beef in general. Where do I even start? TIA!

I'm new here. I started low carb 2 days ago because I have PCOS and am in the process of scheduling a thyroid panel. I usually have horrendous food noise, sugar and starch cravings and really unstable satiety.

In the past 2 days I have not craved anything at all. I've had hunger, but nothing else. I had my lunch and my snack today and didn't think about food until I got home and had my dinner. I've got a low carb vanilla pudding in the fridge and I was able to just decide to have it later even though I wasn't stuffed after dinner. Usually the prospect of something sweet would burn a hole in my brain until I ate it.

No real point to this besides just communicating how insane it feels to suddenly feel normal after only 2 days. Can I expect this to continue or is there a honeymoon period?

My mate eats under 50G carbs per day, wakes up every God damn morning at 5am to run 10km, then heads to work, works all day (office job) then heads to the gym for strength training.

Doesn't snack, doesn't exceed carb intake, doesn't drink coffee, doesn't take any supplements except LMNT electrolytes.

His 33, strength training 3 x a week, runs 5 x a week

Only carbs he gets is in his vegetables, all meat is clean with out any sauces.

I struggle on under 100g of carbs per day and I'm 2 years older and I also try to keep up with his level of training

I have been on a 1500 calorie diet for 1.5 weeks now and for the past two nights I have been having trouble falling asleep and waking up early as my adrenaline feels much higher and my heart is also beating faster as a result. What do you recommend doing?

This maybe a dumb question but do you supplement electrolytes. If so, how do you do it.

T1 Diabetic here with elevated triglycerides (300s) - How did this diet affect everyone's triglycerides? Assuming you have had bloodwork. I am looking into this diet, meaning gearing up schedule/pantry-wise to give it a good try. Not without nerves. I'm not sure what the triglycerides are from, maybe alot of butter and carbs together that I used to eat?

Was it positive? Negative? No impact at all?

Hello, I am 16m 6ft 188lbs. I am unable to fill out my calorie intake with low carb foods, because it's just too hard to find variety of diffrient healthy foods and I don't want to stunt my growth during puberty because of it.

What are some really high calorie foods that are also low in carbs? Because currently I am only able to eat max 1100 calories with same food and I want to atleast reach 2000 with other dishes aswell

Have any other women found that Keto/too low carb disregulated their hormones? — 31F, pretty active (10,000steps/day; barre 5/week; tennis, spinning, ballroom dancing, zumba 1/week).

— I kept my carbs typically around 20g but sometimes went up to 30g. 100-150g of protein.

— I found myself gaining weight even though I weighed all of my food to track calories accurately. Started bleeding heavily during ovulation and period. Insomnia. Hair loss. Brittle nails with vertical grooves…

— As an experiment, I lowered my calories to 1500 for two weeks and still lost no weight.

I’ve decided to increase my carbs to 100g and see if my body recalibrates.

Edit to add: my recent blood test results show I have elevated cholesterol levels

Edit: 100-115g of fat and cortisol results show normal results

Hello All!

So I've been doing low carb for almost 2 months and have done a good job sticking with it.

Is anyone splurging on Thanksgiving? I'm debating about indulging in dessert for one day. I'm very torn because I don't want to ruin my progress or go back to bad habits.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m currently trying a reduced starch and sucrose diet (ie low carb) to manage my IBS symptoms but am struggling to come up with low carb lunch ideas that aren’t boiled eggs. The diet allows for two serves of whole grains a day but I prefer to save these for brekkie and dinner (oats and brown rice/wholemeal pasta).

I would prefer vegetarian ideas if possible as I will usually cook something meat based for dinner! Especially would love some ideas for something that can be packed for a work lunch. Thanks!

I've had chronic pain and fatigue for over 10 years now due to the various auto-immune diseases I have and I've been thru loads of different medications and therapies but nothing really helps that much.

I decided to start a low carb/keto diet to see if it would help at all and I am legitimately impressed by how much it's changed my life already. I have a lot less inflammation, brain fog and joint pain and my energy has definitely increased. The flow on effect of feeling physically better has improved my general mental health too so my pain-related anxiety and depression has been a lot better as well.

Even my skin and hair have improved.. My hair is glossier and my skin has been so clear and dewy. I've been going out with such little makeup lately and getting so many compliments on my skin, that never happens!? lol

I don't even crave sugar or carbs anymore... If ever I'm craving anything now, it's just more haloumi 😂

I really wish I had found this diet when I was younger... I feel like it would've changed my life and enabled me to do so many of the things I feel like I missed out on because I felt too sick.

I'm just happy I found it now, I feel like I've found the best "medicine" for me. I will probably still let myself have the occasional indulgent meal on special occasions but I honestly feel like I could eat this way for ever.

it looks messy, kale was getting everywhere, but sooooo yummy!!

it’s a recipe by heart and probably not mine, it’s basically a taco :D

-lemon and garlic seasoned chicken -pico de gallo -sliced avicado -kale -corn tortilla

it’s very simple, happy saturday

Been doing keto two years, been shifting to roughly 80/15 protein /fat /5 perc carb recently to attempt better weight loss

Been doing whey and pea protein isolate for breakfast with a 50cal scoop of mct powder fat, 1lb of skinless chicken thigh at panda express with like 30g sugar in the marinade, broccoli cabbage and kale, and more powder at night. Perhaps 600 Cals, 900 Cals, 600 . Is this a good idea for weight loss? I find it hard to eat at a calorie deficit and exercise makes me eat more, and besides fasting which made me lose, I found all the cheese, cream, mayo , red meat on keto was probably having me eat 2500-3500 Cals a day. I could eliminate the marinated sugary chicken too, it's convenient tgough and 120 Cals of sugar is still nothing compared to like 500-1000 Cals of fat I might add to deli meat or skin-on chicken etc.

I take multivitamins, and plant antiox capsules with the fatty lunch

Any recommendations on store bought gravy that is very low carb? Preferably vegan. I am also ok with other sauces that are like gravy such as peppercorn sauce etc

Goldilocks No/Low Net Carb Bread, Pasta, etc. List

I’m surprised a list like this doesn’t already exist (maybe it does and I just haven’t found it yet). When I look for low net carb bread/pasta replacements with a short and clean ingredient list, I often come up short. You can find plenty of low net carb lists and plenty of clean ingredient lists, but never a good balance (Goldilocks, just right) of the two.

Occasionally I’ll stumble across what appears to be a gem like L’oven Fresh Keto Tortillas. However, there are two versions. One with a clean ingredients list and another that is not so much. I checked my local Aldi’s and sure enough, mine has the one with the poor ingredients list (I’m starting to think the one with the clean ingredients is fake at this point lol).

Poor ingredients: https://imgur.com/a/tEIey2H?s=fbm

Good Ingredients: https://imgur.com/a/low-carb-no-wheat-tortillas-WJoWHyH

Please keep in mind I’m not here to debate whether the ingredients are actually poor, healthy, or something to be concerned about or whether net carbs should be used instead of total carbs. Everyone has their own goals and mine currently is in limbo between carnivore and a traditional balanced diet. I’ve done carnivore for a while, my health has improved greatly, I’m to a point of wanting to incorporate low net carb (which don’t seem to have an impact on my blood glucose) with as clean of ingredients as realistic until I feel comfortable moving towards eating normal healthy carbs in moderation.

Apologies for the novel. If you stuck with me this far, all of that to say, does the list exist? If so, where? If not, can we create it?

Sandwich breads, tortillas, pastas, etc with low net carbs and healthy ingredients, comparable to the L’oven Fresh Tortillas (good ingredients) shared in the photo link above.

As always, TIA. ❤️

I’ve been on low carb for almost 3 weeks now and I’ve only lost 5lbs (which was all the first week, so I’m assuming most of that was water weight) since then I haven’t lost anything. If anything I go up a pound and then back down a pound. Super frustrating.

I’m eating less than 20 net carbs per day consistently. I’ve also been making sure to drink plenty of water and stop eating by 5pm. Most days I have one main meal for dinner and smaller meals/snacks for breakfast and lunch. This week I started calorie counting as well because I thought maybe I was eating too many calories, but I’m eating about 1300 calories which lines up with my bmr/tdee for weight loss.

Any recommendations?? I’m 35f and am 147lbs (with that 5lb loss)

**I’m also on a pretty extensive vitamin/supplement regimen for other health reasons. None of which are gummies/have sugar or calories. But could that play a role?
