yes.

Salads and a kind of meat? Easy.

The ketogenic diet doesn't mess up with your hormones. It actually helps balance them. Besides, you can eat a lot of different things, not only bacon and eggs. Let me know if you want more options. I know great sources for recipes. I live in Illinois too. PM me if you'd like. Cheers!

That's doable. How's the diet going? Ketogenic was the only thing that helped me lose fat and keep muscle mass. I hope it goes well for you too :)

Cool! Are you also exercising?

I have, but it last only a few days. Your calorie intake seems too low...

I like the low carb approach, as long as you increase your intake of healthy fats (good quality butter - yes, I know-, avocados, coconut oil. I have two people in my family who cured their diabetes this way and lost weight too. I myself follow a very low carb diet. Try not to get desperate. I know it's difficult, but…

God, not the doctor?

Bulletproof coffee.

The sugar... whenever people reduce the fat and meat they substitute it with whole grain and carbs, which is sugar. Then insulin levels start to go crazy, fat starts to accumulate and they get sick and blame it on the fat and meat that they removed in the first place.

I noticed that drinking 2 cups of water with sea salt in the morning helps a lot to curb the symptoms. I've been doing a straight keto diet for the past 8 months, refeeding once a week.

I've been doing keto for 8 months now. It's great. I hope it works well for you

It was the only diet that worked for me for a few reasons: I have no cravings; my skin cleared; mental focus; lots of energy; fewer meals a day (bulletproff coffee for breakfast, lunch and dinner).

Have you tried a high fat, low carb and moderate protein diet?

More weight training, less carbs and more fat. Also, your daily calories seem super low and the nutrients are not there... Read about low card high fat diet. That should help.

Take vitamin C with iron containing foods, ex. kale and orange together. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. B12 can be obtained by consuming animal products, specially organ meats.

I was plant-based for 4 years. After a while I tried a fruitarian diet and gained weight. Now I'm trying low carb, high protein, dairy free diet. I noticed that the cravings (for sweets and bread) are a lot less intense, so I want to see where this is going to take me. Please add me and let's share ideas and experiences!…
