I am about to start cooking, but I have no idea how carbohydrates are measured in rice! I have a limit of 100g of carbs per day. The packet says 100g of rice contains 78g of carbohydrates. This falls within my daily limit, so all good there! However, I can't find any info anywhere on whether...

Just a quick update :) I have been on a LCHF diet now for 6 days! My total carbs for those 6 days is just shy of 300g. My sleep patterns have changed already. from sleeping 12-14 hours combined normal nighttime sleep and afternoon naps, I'm down to 8 hours at night ONLY. I haven't needed an...

Many thanks! I have never heard of the "low-carb, high-fat" diet - my GP did suggest cutting out white rice, potato, white bread etc., but didn't mention the fat side of things. I don't suppose you could recommend any websites with foods/recipes that would comply with an LCHF diet?
