[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2433689, member: 401801"] Ah, yes, depression does tend to kick one around. And it does make it harder to take care of yourself, when it's whispering "What's the point?" in your ear all the time. Don't believe the lies your mind tells you, there [I]is[/I] a point to it all. And hey, still room for improvement from the looks of your list! Cashews are just about the carbiest nuts out there, at 33 grams of carbs per 100 grams. If you switch them with walnuts, pecans, macadamia's or brazil nuts, you could both have more, and still have less carbs than you would with the cashews. If you want that anyway. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/nuts[/URL] might help some. As for the baby potatoes and peas, those are carby too... The starches, you know. If you lose those, and add in cauliflower rice instead (which can surprisingly enough be made to taste like whatever you want with the right spices), you'd drop the carbs even further. And the cauliflower rice would go well with chili or curry as well! Also, since you're a baker... There are actual low carb alternatives to bread and cookies and whatnot. Ah, the miracle of coconut flour and almond flour. ;) [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=keto+baking&ref=nb_sb_noss_2[/URL] might cheer you up some. Bacon would do the trick as well, but maybe you could try pecan keto cookies sometime. I rather liked them. [URL]https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/chewy-keto-pecan-cookies-low-carb/[/URL] There's a whole world out there of things you might still enjoy. You're doing really well. The only way is up.
