My suggestion is a) be prepared with a nut or seed snack. I know we have to be careful about having too much, but in a pinch it's good. And b) for breakfast I often just start out my morning with a bulletproof coffee, and if I'm working or going somewhere, bring a prepared breakfast in a container with me to eat mid-morning. Also, you talked about nausea, I find that by spreading my meals out a little more like that, it doesn't make me as nauseated. Don't know if that would help you considering you said it was sausage that made you feel that way, but if you've had it otherwise, that could help.0 -

I did feel some nausea though, especially after eating a fairly large piece of sausage. Normally I would avoid sausage but I decided to let myself have some. The first few bites where ok but then I got a strong wave a of nausea and a funny metallic taste in my mouth. Everyone else was enjoying the sausage no problem so I don't think it was off. But I think I will avoid it from now on, it was the greasy feel in my mouth that triggered the nausea I think.
Nausea and a bitter taste in your mouth after eating fatty foods can be signs of a gallbladder problem. After eating LCHF for several months, these symptoms, and now pain, led to tests which determined that I have three large gallstones. Surgery is scheduled for next week.

Day 6, feeling good, no nausea yesterday. It is weird how my feeling of hunger has diminished. Last night I was lying in bed feeling full, dinner had been 3 hrs earlier, steak and veggies. I initially felt guilty thinking what did I eat after dinner and before bed to make me feel full. Normally after dinner is my binge time. I stand in front of the fridge or cupboard half consciously foraging. But I realized that I had eaten nothing since dinner, and still felt full and satisfied.
I almost feel like this isn't going to work because I don't feel hungry or deprived. I'm used to having to feel that way to lose weight.
As I said, I'm not stepping on a scale for at least 2 weeks to give this a chance to work.
Also I noticed that when I was a t the gym yesterday It felt like my legs were a bit less strong when I was doing my spin class. Normally it takes a few tracks to warm up then I feel fine but yesterday even after a few tracks my legs were still a bit heavy. I decreased the tension a bit and did fine. Is this because I have used up the glycogen stores in my muscles?
I know it is harder for the body to covert fat to energy than to use carbs. Will this symptom improve with time?
Thanks for all the great info, it is helpful to have such great feedback, it keeps me motivated.0 -
Decreased strength during adaptation to this woe isn't unusual. But, make sure you're keeping a watch on your electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, and potassium need to be watched closely)! Read the section about electrolytes in the launch pad area! These are needed to adapt without symptoms that lead you to believe you need carbs, when just some sodium can make all the difference!3

Truth (in my experience too).2 -
When I was in high school I was extremely thin and often accused of being Anorexic. The funny thing is, the nutritionist I worked with back then encouraged me to eat more fat to help gain weight. That was back in the 80’s when everyone thought that eating fat made you fat. Well, guess what, I did NOT gain any weight and stayed very thin through my 20s. Fast forward a decade or two and 40 pounds and now I’m trying to lose some weight. What happened? I got a little older and had kids but I think the biggest culprit: I became a vegetarian. I wanted to eat healthier, but I did it the wrong way. My diet was filled with carbs, the good ones and the bad ones, pasta, rice, etc. and very little fat. My advice is to not fear the fat! I recently started eating LFHC and am already feeling better and the weight is coming off. Good luck!0

Salt not carbs! I'm having more broth and loving it.0
