    Given my budget, sadly I eat lower crab than I would like these days ...

    So, you're doing crab-light?

    Or better yet, this! 74ll1nidld6o.jpeg

    If I cut imitation crabs, can I get into imitation ketosis?

    Whatever floats your boat :)

    I've lost nearly 10kg on a no-crab diet.
    I think I might write a book, make a blog, start selling my secret...will I get rich?

    It was the emotional crabby, not a physical crabs. I guess I deserved that for not talking about low carb crabs.

    That type is also treatable. Chocolate always worked for me :smile:

    Wow. This got silly.

    OP, "carbs" means sugar and starch. So, bread, rice, corn, potatoes, sugar, honey etc. Carbs are the biggest source of energy for most people, except those on low-carb diets who eat protein and fat instead.

    This also includes fruits and vegetables. As a general rule, anything that isn't a fat (oil, butter...etc) or a meat has at least a few carbs.

    Fruit and veg contain carbs, but I would not classify most of them as being "a carb" as it is not what they are mostly made up of - they are mostly fibre and water and don't provide much in way of energy. I would put them in a separate category of their own.

    (and yes, I've just found out about this anomaly where American nutrition labels classify fibre under "total carbs", but that is not a helpful classification, as we can't digest fibre, it provides no calories and does not behave as a carb in the body).

    The calories in fruits and vegetables are mostly carbs. Water is not usually involved in classifying foods, otherwise soda would not be classified as a carb. Personally, I don't classify foods anyway because it has no bearing on my nutrition, but conventionally fruits and vegetables are known as carbs (usually called non starchy carbs).

    I'm seeing the makings of the next diet craze, high crab low carb diet. I think you're onto something, OP. Maybe call yourself a guru and go with it?

    Personally, I'm on the Low Crab High Fruit diet and it works like a charm! Maybe I should start a group here. :)
