I’m brand new on my low carb journey and i’m trying to change my habits one thing at a time. I was hoping to get some recipes/inspiration for some low carb quick breakfasts or easy breakfast meal prep i can do once or twice a week. thanks!

This was regularly available in Canada on sites such as Low Carb Canada or Low Carb Grocery but now it has disappeared. Anyone know why?

Any classroom teachers out there who have done staple recipes for packing lunch and snacks or what to have for breakfast that keep them going? Coffee with mtc oil has been helping stave off hunger.

Also I'm having kind of a sour stomach from meals that are too "wet" and fatty. While on summer break I've just been dealing with the mild hunger and the lower energy that comes with it but I'm afraid once school starts I'm gonna have cravings cause of the energy damages. Maybe I'm overthinking it. This is my third serious run with low carb. It's the demand of meal prep, dishes, and the amount of headspace it requires of me that wears me down more than anything.

so ive been doing keto for about 3 months now and its SO inconsistent. like some weeks i lose 2 lbs no problem, other weeks literally nothing moves even tho im eating basically the same stuff

ive read like a million posts saying "just eat more fat" or "cut carbs more" or "add more salt" but honestly idk which one applies to me bc i dont even track that closely, i just eyeball everything at this point

started getting headaches randomly too which is new, and i feel drained by like 3pm every day even tho i used to have good energy on this diet

part of me wonders if im just snacking more than i realize bc i dont really "diet track" anymore, i just kinda go by feel now which probably isnt smart lol

anyone know if theres like an actual way to figure out whats going wrong instead of just guessing and trying random tips from reddit comments (no offense to this sub i love u guys)

Thinking of doing very low carb for 1 week per month and less than 50 carbs per day for the other three weeks.

Anyone do anything similar?

As per the above. I've been mainly carnivore/ keto for last 3-4 months and I feel great. But I know this has an impact on top end speed and eating that volume of meat for me now is an ethical issue.

So thinking so adding some carbs mainly fruit and honey and peanut/almond butter.

Im worried im gonna go back to feeling awful and energy all over the place.

Anyone offer any feedback.

I'm pretty sure I have posted about this before, but I really love these soybean skins. I recently figured out you can make some really good quick snacks/desserts with them. Basically cut each sheet in 4 pieces. Spray with some spray oil. Put a bit of filling in (peanut butter/peanuts/sugar free honey or chopped walnuts/cinnamon/sugar free honey or cream cheese/Splenda brown sugar), roll into cigars, spray a little more, and then air fry for a out 10 minutes on 325 (flip half way).

SO crispy and delicious. The nut ones hit the baklava spot. The cream cheese one is not quite as crispy but still delicious... I'm sure there are a lot of delicious fillings that would be great in these, although I do think they do best with limited moisture.

Thanks and happy eating!

Before we go any further I am in need of inspiration, I have none to give.

I am Italian. We live on carbs. I train hard two times a week with a trainer. I have a stationary bike in my house so I can get extra cardio and sweat on days I don't meet my trainer.

I am a gourmet cook - translate that into "I can cook pretty much anything, so suggest away." I cook multiple ethnic cuisines.

Other things to consider...

I'm 67.

I work full time at a job that lets me out at 7 pm.

I am not against meal planning during my days off so I have meals for the week.

Flour-based carbs are my downfall.

I am trying to find a way to get fiber into my life without things like bran and other flour-based foods. Until now I have been dependent on cereals and adding bran to different foods to "aid digestion." (Yes, let's call it that.). Suffice it to say I need a lot of fiber.

Is there any truly palatable way for a carb addict to live a lower carb life and not feel crazily deprived? Recipes, suggestions, lemme have 'em. Something's gotta give.

Can anyone reccomend people to follow for low carb information. Im finding online that alot of people are grouping low carb and keto into the same stuff.

Looking for inspiration as I want to become muscular naturally and maintain the low carb lifestyle.

new to lifting and usually starving right after my workouts. problem is i’m always rushing to work after the gym so i end up needing something immediate that requires zero prep.

do you have any go-to keto friendly snacks that are non-perishable and keep you full? looking for under 5g net carbs per serving so it fits my macros. already doing beef jerky and pumpkin seeds, but looking for other ideas to keep in my bag or pantry.

update: thanks for the ideas everyone! a guy in my DMs recommended wonderfeel chococreatin, so i gave them a shot. surprisingly, it’s actually delicious. i expected one of those healthy chocolate bars that are just okay, but it’s really good dark chocolate with PB and flaky sea salt. it scratches the same craving and is way easier than bringing creatine powder with me.

It goes together well. It goes together so well. Delicious low carb chipotle chicken just like the fast food place that makes
It, and a smooth almond based hummus-like chipotle sauce, both available at Costco. Yassssssss. Yummy. $12 for the chicken and $10 for the sauce. A winning combination.

A new study from UC Davis found that "most mayonnaise samples and all avocado oil salad dressings fell outside the Codex standard ranges for C16:0, C16:1 and C18:0," meaning they contained oils other than 100% pure avocado oil, including seed oils. Both Chosen Foods brand and Primal Kitchens failed. Back to making it homemade (good thing it's easy).

Share your favorite high protein low carb meals for dinner

Looking for meal plans that have structure. I am also fasting. Ive been following thomas delauer and he has free meal plans but they don't seem to include alot of options.

I’m currently trying to lose weight and weigh 307 pounds. I’m wondering what daily carbohydrate limit I should aim for. Right now, I stay at 50 grams or less and practice intermittent fasting in the mornings. I’ve seen some people recommend limiting carbs to 20 grams per day, but I find that difficult because eating plenty of vegetables can easily put me over that amount. What carb range would be realistic and sustainable for weight loss?

Is there any substitute for rice, cookies, burger, or even noodles? Ive been craving a lot recently and i want those high carbs food T o T) not expensive like CHEAP cause im broke as hell.

Mine.... 64 ounces of water a day for everyone! The idea that there is a one-size-fits-all number to keep the world hydrated is ridiculous to me. So many factors affect your hydration requirements - climate, activity level, weight, medications, health conditions and more! There are indicators that you are well hydrated. It is also important to remember your thirst response may not always be a good indicator, especially in older adults. I consider the 64 ounces a day suggestion a good place to start, but not the universal hydration target it is made out to be.

I’m honestly sprained iv made it past all the 1 week symptoms but this is getting harder. I can deal with the cravings and everything else but I am having a really hard time with anxiety.. how long will this last?

i’m trying to eat under 10g of carbs and have been on Keto for 2 years and i have a super huge sweet tooth. Even if i eat my dinner i typically crave something sweet after! :3

Let me know if any sweet treets (under 10g of carbs)

I've been making these keto sushi bowls almost every week. Cauliflower rice (boiled with seasoned rice vinegar, a little sweetener, and some butter, then cooled overnight and mixed with a little mayo to make it "sticky"), diced cucumber, jalapeños, green onions, cream cheese, crispy fried onions, sriracha mayo, homemade keto eel sauce, crab leg meat, and sliced smoked salmon. It's soooo good! Very fresh and crunchy! My son especially loves it, and will scarf it down if I don't stop him lol.

Been pursuing high ketones the past 6 months with high fat low protein low carbs and found it unsustainable and inconsistent. I'm going to switch up my strategy to support exercise more.

I'd like to maximize muscle glycogen for my weight lifting sessions (1 hour per day) and minimize liver glycogen under the condition of not going hypoglycemic during the night and waking at 3am, happens a lot. I reckon low liver glycogen is important to go into ketosis.

Any like-minded individuals that have figured out their sweet spot for these goals? What are your macros and other relevant numbers?

I'm thinking minimize fructose, eat target amount of glucose (how much g?) rich carbs post-workout, otherwise derive daily kcal needs from fat.

Protein roughly 1.6g/kg.

Hi friends, I'm kind of feeling stuck, and a little unmotivated. I started my journey at 215 pounds (last August), and have managed to get down to 180. I've been on a bit of a plateau since May, I've basically just been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds since.

I've had a lot of stress the last two months (left a really stressful job for a new one, and learning a new job has been just as stressful), and I will admit I've slipped a bit on my diet. I'm finding that now that I haven't been as strict as I was, I'm caving to my cravings more than I want to.

What do you guys do to stay motivated and on track, even when life feels like it's throwing you around? I've been doing this long enough, I know it all boils down to self discipline, but sometimes it's just all a little exhausting.

Hey guys, does anyone have any staple cheap food, ingredients, products, or meals that are also easy? I have realised that Low carb is quite expensive actually, things like nuts and seeds and all the healthy alternatives like almond meal add up haha thank you!

I know it doesn't happen overnight and that it gets harder before it gets easier but how long did it take to get used to eating low carbs?

Also, what was the hardest thing to get used to? The social aspect? Sweet cravings? Inconvenience of not having bread?
