Insatiable munchies!
I've been so good, kept the carbs well under 20g a day but last week I twisted my hip and have been on ibuprofen the past couple of days. I can tell it's affecting me with a bit of indigestion. Today I forgot to take extra fat to work and my lunch was at 8g of carbs (nuts as snacks) and oh my I was hungry for the first…

Stuck! Intro and Keto advice please
Hi I decided to start low carb again after the gradual weight increase and having a diet super high in carbs. Sluggish craving sweets all the time etc. I've been doing low carb (second time) for just over a week now. The first 2 days I'd lost 3.5kg (water mainly I'm presuming given how much I've lost and been…
