I haven't checked in a while. Sadly this group doesn't seem super active. How is everyone?

    Thanks!

    I'm in maintenance and have been eating a higher carb, mostly plant based diet. But, due to some digestion issues/stomach bloating, along with some weight creep, I decided to try something completely new and a couple weeks ago started lowering my carb intake, to around 100g a day. Since then I've settled in the 50g-75g range for net carbs a day and I'm really enjoying the food swaps I've made. I've read through several Atkins books and now I'm staring to read some primal/paleo books :)

    This group used to be super active, but it looks like folks have moved on.
    I’ve been eating VLC, or LCHF mostly primal, but some days I’m at keto level. I fast (or at least try to) for 20 hrs, with a 4 hour eating window.
    Glad to see some activity on here!

    I haven't been on here for a while, but usually keep track of friends on my home page, I'll try to check in more often.
    I've been eating paleo/primal for about 7yrs, I started with low GI then went low carb/primal. I was vegetarian then pescetarian in my younger days, but I feel better with less grains/legumes. I tend to eat within an 8hr window but I'm not super strict about it. I usually eat around 50g carbs or lower, but again I'm not super strict. I'm really in maintenance and like to keep my bodyfat and visceral fat at a healthy %.
