[QUOTE="aealexandrou, post: 2025314, member: 503484"] Congratulations on lowering your 120g of carbs a day is a still high. You will find that merely restricting your carbs will not do much for you. If you eat regularly during the day, e.g. breakfast, mid-morning tea a biscuit or fruit or sweat,, lunch, a mid-afternoon tea with something with it and then dinner, etc., you are, even on a carb restricted diet over eating. Every time you eat your pancreas will release insulin and if you are already insulin resistant, this will exacerbate the problem. I don't know if you do, but you need to lose the snacks to start with. If you are snacking it is because you are having carbs in the morning. Sugar loves sugar and if you eat carbs in the morning your body will be demanding more before lunch. Switch to a plain wholefood breakfast, such as eggs, bacon, etc. Dump any cereals you have, no matter how healthy they purport to be. The non-carb breakfast will help to reduce cravings before lunch. Once your comfortable on a non-carb breakfast, cut it out completely. If you have a long gap between your evening meal and the following day's meal, such as lunch (e.g. about 10 or more hours), you will trigger your body into going into recovery mode, with your body eating away old dead cells and new cells being generated. If you can extend your time restricted eating to say 16 or more hours, then you trigger stem cell recovery. Stem cells are blank cells lying around your body, with your DNA coded within.
