  • If you want something you can grab and take with you, you can pre-prep whole grain egg and bean burritos with whatever other toppings you like and just keep them wrapped in foil. They're easy to heat up in the oven or microwave (foil off for the latter of course). If you like baking, sometimes I'll bake a pan of oatmeal…

  • Heavy grains! I've been on a baked oatmeal kick (instead of stirring it in a pot, just mix the grains and milk in a baking dish with the toppings and throw it in the oven for 30-45 minutes)

  • It could be - could definitely be any of the above, too, the carbs/an illness/not enough water/new food/the tap water/a food sensitivity/especially if you moved. Good luck!

  • Hormonal cycles can cause your weight to fluctuate upwards by up to around 10lbs, and that's only one thing, so you gotta focus on the trend. For now, I'd recommend just focusing on how your new diet and lifestyle makes you feel (better, hopefully!). Your body's adapting to new food and your muscles are probably retaining…
    in HELP! Having issues with weightloss and diet... maybe? Comment by opalastrophel February 2018
  • I started paying more attention to fiber and vitamins/minerals and I find I snack more when I'm deficient in something. I also like to meal plan a day or two in advance - if I can't fit something into my day, I just schedule it for later. It's nice to always have a banana muffin or a hot cocoa or something to look forward…

  • How long have you been eating this way? When I switched to a low sugar, high fibre diet, I felt bloated a lot while (I can only assume) my gut bacteria adjusted and recomposed. If you've been losing fat, it becomes more obvious when you're bloated, too.

  • I love toasted rye bread and depending on what you're feeling and the meal plan for the day you can top it with more breakfasty things like peanut butter and bananas, or something more savoury like cream cheese, red onion, and smoked fish. I have a hard time feeling full without some kind of heavy carbs and I find myself…

  • Keto might just not be right for your body. I did it for awhile and saw really unimpressive results and my athletic performance suffered - but I have an endocrine/metabolic disorder and I'm insulin resistant. Whatever's going on in there has responded well to my eating more, but whole, grains (probably the magnesium) and…
    in Keto Failure Comment by opalastrophel February 2018
  • When I need to cram in my last iron without too many carbs, I do a cup of unsweetened cashew milk, half a cup of greek yogurt, 150g spinach, 1tbsp chia seed, cinnamon, and turmeric. I'm not on keto, just low GL, so you could probably swap around some things if the yogurt or milk is too many carbs.
