Opinions on HIGH fat, MODERATE protein, LOW carb diet!

Keto was unhealthy for me - I was tired all the time, struggled at work, loss muscle mass and my gym work outs - cardio and strength training were affected. Low carb is generally considered to be less than 100g. I was ok with this but less than 50g affected me badly

From what I've read, the amount of carbs can vary from person to person. It sounds to me as though it was either too low for you or LC just isn't something you would thrive on. I am doing really well on less than 30 g of carbs per day & my DH who outweighs me by about 50# does something like 50 g daily.

It all depends upon the person. I struggled at first at the gym but I'm seeing gains on a regular basis now & so is he. Though I struggled at first, he never had an issue. It's possible that because I have historically gone lower than he that my transition was rougher :drinker:

This was a rather long thread so I didn't read through all of it. So, apologies if this has been mentioned. One concern, mostly for women going on a this type of diet is hormonal disruption. I have talked with a number of women who have had hormonal issues after following high protein or high fat diets for a while. So, perhaps keep an eye on your hormone levels, by getting them checked, if you are doing this sort of diet. Also, do not forget that fruits and veggies are your friend. Getting rid of too many of them can cause digestive issues as well.

I am still working out my macros. I got off the diet for 1 month and gained back 50 lbs....I am kicking myself hard for that. I am a vegetarian so I have to be creative. I need to start doing tofu again, that helped with the protein. I make fat bombs with cream cheese, coconut oil, and grass fed butter to help get my fats in. I have a couple fat bombs to start off with, wheat bran, nutritional yeast, and chia seeds post workout for slow burning carbs. I have a garden burger with mayo and cucumber slices for lunch and a salad for dinner. I do protein shakes to try and supplement the protein. I hope the macros are ok, I am still playing around with it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
