Your choice of over 100gm of carbs a day might be stopping you changing over to using fat for fuel.
We do not need any carbohydrate 'for energy' as we can use fats - and they are more efficient. I eat 40 gm of carbs a day as a maximum, I lowered my blood glucose to the top end of normal on 50 gm max, but stopped losing weight, but just today I think things are starting to change.
I eat meat fish and shellfish eggs and cheese as my basic diet, then add low carb veges and fruits such as berries just for their taste and some variety week to week.
