    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Hello, thank you for this, I just started taking a multi vit with added Iron, I also take B12, Vit D and Pre and Pro biotics each morning. I have been upping my calories more and I feel like I look slimmer, or less puffy I guess, and am starting to feel a bit better - weight is still not...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Thank you will check it out! I also realise that I did have covid in end of Feb and although it was mild, I went back to exercising and life as soon as I could and I have now read some research that giving yourself 6 weeks of post covid rest time may be better as exerting yourself too quickly...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    I do eat other things as well, I am also very active. So I can eat 4 eggs at breakfast, avocado, feta, rocket, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, flax, and fish for evening meal with green veg and butter, plus nuts and greek yoghurt. I guess we all have different appetites, I swim in the sea all year...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Thank you for this, thank god for a forum like this, I am slowly understanding it a bit more. I do keep an eye on carb manager re total carbs versus net. I think the way forward for now is to forget the calories, and see. I already feel mentally better for giving myself permission to do that...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    I think I will stop counting the calories, and just eat the fat and keep carbs as low as possible or at least just get carbs from my green veggies and some nuts. I dont eat meat, but do eat fish, cheese and tofu. I lost 2kg in the first month (so slow which is fine) but then this is month 3 and...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Thank you, I hve been tracking myself on carb manager and I am eating 75% of my calories from fat so I dont eat that much protein, I do not eat meat but my protein comes from fish and tofu, and cheese! Maybe I need to forget about the calories for now and just eat a bit more intuitively within...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Thank you this is really helpful. I am also not sure of how high is too high. So a lot of my meals I go up to 6.2 but they are low carb ones. I am still getting the hang of all this. Also just wary that I suffer from disordered eating from being on diets all my life and STILL being...

    Difference between Keto and Low Carb - members’ experiences

    Hello I’ve been sticking to keto for 3 months and although BS readings have been okay I have not felt good. Extremely tired in the mornings and so lacking in energy. Was trying to keep under 20g of carbs a day. I find it quite restrictive. Then I start to feel miserable and the old need to...
