Ive found done really low carb rolls, only 5.4 and they are not badI'm the same at the moment. Been doing LCHF since mid sept and found it great. But despite losing 3 llbs and getting a few 6s (first ones) I'm really struggling this week. Massively craving carbs. Have noticed my carbs have crept up a bit over last few days and know that isn't helping. Really feeling miserable today would just love a big sandwich (!) but no bread suits me at all. Either spikes me or gives me indigestion. Or a big piece of Victoria sponge!! Fed up with this. Can empathise!
The best way I've ever found to beat carb cravings is fat.
Seriously.
If you are wrestling with them, then forget calories, weight loss and dieting.
Splurge on fat instead. And you won't even notice the carbs falling away.
Things that work for me:
Coffee with cream or low carb hot choc, with cream. Something very comforting about hot rich drinks.
A full fry up, without the carbs.
Egg mayo
Pork scratchings
Steak and blue cheese dressing
Brie
Well, any cheese, really
Greek or coconut yog
Try it.
Works like magic.
Then get back on the diet wagon (if necessary), tomorrow.
take the fat part of the lchf diet seriously, low carb and low fat will be a headache

perhaps if you increase it slowly?Hi Jack
Trying to eat as much fat as possible as I do not need to loose any weight. Too much still makes me feel a little nauseous though!

Hi Bruneria
I particularly like berries and Greek yoghurt and a hot choc with soy milk is going down well at work when everyone is on their lattes.
Where has low carb yoghurts? Not managed to find those yet.
