[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2311966, member: 401801"] Low cal with low-ish carb is even more restrictive, would likely deprive you of vital nutrients and all in all... Is usually considered a crash diet not suitable for the long term. Deficiencies could develop that'd likely influence your health and quality of life. Key to low carbing is loving what you eat. Find foods *you* actually enjoy eating. If you hate what's on your plate, there's no way to keep this way of eating up. I tried to eat all the right things, (if you believe the internet) but I'm not a flax seed girl, nor will I ever be proficient in baking elaborate, contrived masterpieces with psyllium husk and whatnot. I just stuck with decent, flavourful meals with lots of herbs and spices, made up out of real food. Eggs with bacon and cheese, salads with tuna, salmon, goat's cheese or steak. Above ground veggies with meat, fish, poultry... For snacks? Cheese, extra dark chocolate, olives, pork scratchings, cold cuts. Find what works for you. Just try not to inadvertantly harm yourself in the process, eh? And if you can let us know what bothers you most about low carbing, maybe we have solutions and work-arounds for you. Good luck!
