    why are you doing this ridiculous diet? why not just follow the macros/calories suggested by MFP and continue to eat foods you enjoy?

    If you want to lose weight, you have to eat less, but you can eat whatever you like.

    Curry is low carb. Is this a deprivation diet?

    I made curry chicken fried (cauli) rice last week to satisfy that craving & I will definitely be making it again. Mixed my own curry seasoning too. A serving of the cauli-rice added 4 g carbs.

    It was a dry curry, but a bit of heavy cream or a spoon of greek yogurt would make it creamy if that's what you are craving.

    Low-carb or keto becomes easier when you have the time, and enjoy cooking for yourself imo. Otherwise, yeah it's not necessary for weightloss.

    Also sounds like you may be a bit misguided on what's appropriate for that diet style as far as nutritional content of foods go. Are you logging?

    Maybe just try to reduce added sugars?? That’s the only thing I found to be helpful but I don’t cut it out completely. Added sugar in silly places like tomato sauces and salad dressings are easy to cut out and saves you calories for other things. Save your sugar indulgences for things you really enjoy. I eat chocolate everyday. I tend to follow a 90/10 rule in which 90% of my diet is “healthy” and the other 10% is not.
