[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1687489, member: 459333"] I've been going very low carb and high fat for about a week, hoping that I'd experience the phenomenon that I can eat what I want and lose weight, due to the idea that one doesn't crave fatty foods as much as carby foods, and one feels more satisfied after eating fatty foods. My experience so far is that I've been eating an awful lot of fatty food and am gaining weight. Things I really love and can easily eat too much of: * Belly pork with veg e.g. green breans, broccoli, asparagus. * Mixed nuts with blueberries / raspberries / blackberries & double cream. * Nut butters. Could eat a whole jar of e.g. peanut butter. But when I think about it, could it be that I'm not trying hard enough to eliminate carbs? Because: * With the belly pork meals, I'm having a small bit of English mustard (e.g. a level teaspoon) * With the Mixed nuts & double cream & berries, I've often added 3g of raisins (=2g carbs) for a bit of sweetness, especially if the berries are bitter. * Peanut butter is still 8% carbs, so who am I kidding? Do people find that just the smallest amounts of carby additions such as English mustard ruin the 'satiety' effect of a very high fat meal? I've been getting a bit disillusioned with the idea of keto and even had some dark chocolate today, so I'm looking for advice for types of keto food combos which strike a really good balance of being appetising, healthy but not so nice that as soon as I've finished eating it, I make some more!
