I am pretty new to cutting carbs. It started with just slowly cutting out SOME breads, pastas and potatoes. I then decided to actually limit myself to a percentage of my daily calories. Was super easy at 30%...roughly 150g a day. I decided to just start really diving in, so starting today, my limit is about 70g. I'm hoping that every week I can lower it by 10g until I hit my sweet spot.... Which I don't even know how I'll know...Lol. Still learning as I go.

ANYWAY, I was SO hoping that some of you guys with open diaries wouldn't mind adding me so I could see how you all do it. I really think that once I get into ketosis and my body adjusts that this could be a really awesome lifestyle for me. Any and all support helps...and honestly...outside of this group I've seen quite a bit of low carb bashing that just totally put me off...so I dare not bite out there. :wink:

    Depression has me eating bad now. Friday is my goal fix day so I can lose the depression too. Low carb helps the depression for me.

    Um.
    I'd love to see others diaries, and have no problem with anyone seeing mine.
    But the reason I want to see others' is so I can improve and get ideas.
    I don't want to eat powders or substitutes, but just more good for me and less of not-so-good.
    If I may add any of you, how do I do it?

    My diary is open. I don't 'do' Friends, but you should be able to view the diary without friending. I'm in Australia so some of the brand names (and foods?) may not mean much to you, but I pretty much each whole foods that need no explanation.

    I haven't logged my food for several weeks, but did for the first few months. I did, and still am pretty much, ZC, so you could look back at April and May if you choose to. I'm sending op and Jenny a friend request. Good luck to y'all! :smiley:

    Feel free to add me, my diary is open to friends, I try to stay under 20 net carbs, I do my best to log everything I eat so I can see what I was eating when I lost the most/least.

    Feel free to add me if you like. I don't do/focus on Keto, but I practice a LCHF Primal/Paleo lifestyle.

    My general advice for "low carbing" (assuming you're not avoiding carbs from veggies) is to switch out some for your refined foods with veggie alternatives.

    Example: Cauliflower rice > white rice

    Spaghetti Squash and/or veggie noodles > pasta
