On edge
I have been low carb for over a year now, with a daily limit of 30g carbs, although I usually have around 20ish. Over the last 10 days I have dropped my carbs further with the last few days eating almost 0 carbs (basically just meat and fat). While I'm enjoying some effects of this (losing water weight, lack of hunger etc)…

Pancake day / shrove Tuesday
Just wondering how other low carbers are managing with tomorrow's tradition of pancakes. Before there was nothing I loved more than pancakes/crepes/pikelets/blinis, whatever type you like. As this is my first year with this WOE I don't know is I should try to make a low carb version or just abstain totally. Any advice or…

Being keto adapted
Hi everyone. I've been keto for a month and can definitely see this WOE fitting in with my life long term. In looking for advice from some long term keto-ers I know there will be times in the future when I will consume more carbs than I want. My mum's 50 birthday party is in the summer and will be a fancy afternoon tea,…

Hunger
Hi. Just finished my second week of a ketogenic style diet and was wondering if anyone else experiences this... Never feeling hungry! !! I honestly can't eat three meals a day, I struggle with two, and am most happy with just one. For example, today I didn't feel up to breakfast. Had a late lunch at 3pm of 2 eggs 2 bacon…
