I was previously eating a high carb diet, circa 300g day of complex carbs and a load of sugar from a litre of milk per day - I'm a big tea drinker and both soy and almond are terrible with it, so I shake up a bit of single cream in a carton of soy and (at least in tea) it end up very similar which helped a lot. Overall I felt fortunate that I like meat, cheese, eggs, spinach and pickled veg a lot cause it's nice most of what I eat - ricotta is low carb and is also much lower calorie then a lot of other cheeses, I use it in omelettes, on salads or to make very eggy 'pancakes' (eggs, ricotta , protein powder) everyday.I was already very active but I added a 30 minute fasted walk each morning, except I set an interval timer to:10 mins 45x15 seconds20 mins 50/10 secondsWhere I power walked as fast as possible and put my arms into it for the first longer time, then slowed down for the shorter time on repeat. This was an attempt to reduce my visceral fat by emulating HIIT style workouts in the walk and get much more out of the 30 minutes - you can find a free app easily and the frequent rests might make that easier on your fatigue?</blockquote>
