    Cashew milk might meet your needs and be more pleasant - unsweetened, of course.

    Oh and one more question. When low carb dieting and intermittent fasting, are you supposed to get sick?
    Like more than once each time I start doing theses things I'll get sick at night and almost feel like I need to vomit while I'm trying to freaking sleep.
    Any solutions?

    OK so to sum up.

    You eat 1000 calories (significantly too few) each day
    You eat sticks of butter
    You get sick at night and feel nauseous such that you can't sleep
    You can't eat any carbs, including vegetables
    You think maybe intermittent fasting will work.
    You think you hit a plateau 4 days in.


    I mean this with all due respect..

    I think you need to take a full stop and completely forget everything you're currently doing, make an appointment with a doctor and/or registered dietician, and get on a truly healthy sustainable eating plan. Because none of what you are doing right now makes any sort of sense whatsoever.

    Thanks guys. I'm stuffing in a piece of bologna and fixing a scrambled egg.
    Let my gag reflexes commence.

    Vomiting in your sleep or while trying to sleep aren't connected to low carb or IF eating plans, but it could be connected to eating butter.

    See a doctor and get a referral to a dietician, you're on course for some serious health issues if you don't.

    I have no problem eating, hello? I wouldn't be overweight if I did.
    I'm trying to avoid things I know that do not help me lose weight. Like pasta, breads, candy, chocolate (I LOVE).
    I have no issues with veggies, especially broccoli and green beans.

    @juggernaut1974
    Come on dude, that was a total joke. XD

    Why would eating a single egg and a piece of lunch meat make you gag?

    You think you'll be successful by not eating anything you like? Hmmmmm

    You have a problem if you're eating less than 1000 calories from actual food and fill the rest up with eating straight butter.
    Like, a serious problem.

    Pasta, breads, candy, and chocolate don't help or hurt your weight loss. All of those foods can fit within a calorie deficit. Eating those foods in a calorie deficit is going to be way better for you than eating 1,000 calories or less of butter.

    This isn't about eating things I don't like. Not at all. It just so happens that the things I like are not healthy for me and won't help me lose weight.
    I DO eat some things I like. It's just repetitive and gets boring. I also will have cheat days, so no big deal.

    Because I honestly feel full. And eating straight up bologna with no bread isn't very tasty. Eggs...not sure how to explain. Just the taste, but i'll manage to get it in.
    I wouldn't consider myself a picky eater at all, but when dieting gets involved you have to be sometimes.

    There is no reason to become a picky eater when dieting. No food out there will help or hinder your weight loss directly. Fat loss is 100% reliant on your calories in vs calories out, what those calories are composed of is irrelevant from a pure fat loss perspective.

    How about avocado?

    They can be cheap and are mostly fat - of the good variety if you eat a lot of meat/dairy.
    You may even find they're similar to butter in that they're smooth and taste good with salt. But a bonus is they're not butter.

    So it's really a problem if I'm doing all I can within my power to try to eat healthy and stick to working out?
    I asked for suggestions on something to replace butter because I know it isn't something I should continue to do.
    I don't have the money to do everything 100% correctly :( Not my fault.

    contrary to popular belief, you don't have to torture yourself to lose weight...everything you are doing is completely unnecessary.

    It costs nothing to eat less. You will lose weight eating the same things that made you overweight. Just eat less of it.

    You forgot:

    You don't eat foods you love because you think you can't lose weight eating them.
    You believe all this is being done in a bid to be healthier.
