Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
I am usually in ketosis but from time to time I get carbohydrate cravings which are hard to resist.
Often this is when my partner gets a loaf of bread (especially sourdough) and I get a craving for cheese toastie and baked beans which was a childhood staple and is a family tradition.
However I have just fasted for my 6 monthly bloods and my appetite seems to have gone.
Not complaining as I am dropping a few pounds because I am eating very little, but there is sourdough, cheese and baked beans in the house and I'm not very interested.
I do have a bit of a bad back which may be distracting me from food, but it is all very strange.
Anyway, on the principle of using lemons to make lemonade I'm not fighting it and waiting with interest to see how long I can go on dropping weight before I get fed up and have an attack of the munchies.
Perhaps all I need is a minor distraction and carbohydrate cravings are just a side effect of minor boredom. What shall I do next? Mmmmm....food!
Not recommending putting your back out as a weight loss strategy, though.
