Are you in ketosis? Have you become fat adapted? Once you are you really shouldn’t get hungry and you can focus on great quality protein & fats adding a few low carb veg for sheer pleasure rather than to ‘fill you up’. My current favourite is a slow cooked Keto beef stew & a side of finely sliced Savoy cabbage which I simply season and knobs of butter & microwave for 3 minutes 😋 I also love romaine lettuce with cream cheese or without....
What are you currently using all your carbs on?

jhilliscpa hi, I just put in data to the goal calculator on the app and that is what ot came up with: 19g of carbs. The low carb diet comes up with a whopping 75g of carbs! Should I be choosing net or total carbs? Although I am not sure it makes a huge difference! Maybe net carbs is a little bit more lenient.

We all need different levels of carbs. Some people’s metabolism is totally shot for many reasons, mine due to 41 yrs of yo-yo dieting ~ every method you have ever heard of and them some.... other people are extremely active. The numbers you get are just those, numbers. Testing blood ketones and blood glucose will give you an absolute number for you. Mine is currently 20g total carbs. I hope as my body recovers I can increase this to live a sustainable lifestyle that does not trigger my sugar & carbohydrates addictions. They are currently quiet 🙌
mcpher27 milk is full of sugar sorry ~ try unsweetened almond milk or a slice of lemon or herbal teas. You can have heavy cream ~ nuts are good but measured amounts even if you are vegetarian.
jhilliscpa you are fortunate indeed 😀👍🏻 that those extras are your numbers, I hope it won’t be too long before I can enrich my veg list. Your weight-loss is brilliant. My average is 2.9lbs a week and I have 21lbs to goal so whilst my addictions are quiet I am not going to rock my boat 🚣
