[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2268691, member: 41816"] Hi, Sometimes people find it very difficult to get through the first few days of low carb. They have been eating high levels of carbs for years, and their body is used to them, and in fact craves them. It is that Monday afternoon falling off the diet feeling. My suggestion is to not think of it as a diet. Or a slimming way of eating. Or a depressing prison of control that will keep you in solitary for the rest of your existence - because all of those things will just mess with your head and make you miserable. Instead, look on it as a new food adventure. What do you like to eat? Really like? (and no, I am not talking about sweet stuff and stodge). Do you enjoy steak? Baked mushrooms stuffed with garlic and cheese? Good cheese? Dark chocolate? Is your idea of a fantastic hotel breakfast a gorgous mound of scrambled egg with smoked salmon on top? Lobster? A blob of mozarella with sliced tomatoes and olives, drizzled with olive oil? Prawns in a garlic and cream sauce? Roast duck with the skin on? Roast beef with piles of lovely (cauliflower) mash? You can eat all those things until you are full, and you forget all about carbs. Also, do a google search for 'keto mug cakes' and then get the ingredients together. You can make a low carb, filling cake or pudding in 2 mins the microwave. That is quicker than running to a corner shop for a carby one. Just change your mindset from the things you can't eat, to the things that you can. Make a list of the low carb foods that you love, buy them, and eat them until satiated. Don't try and go hungry, or keep to small portions, or feel like you are being deprived. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
