Hiya
@BundyBob and welcome.
I should check back with your doc and see what they actually meant, by 'no carbs'.
There are carbs in everything except meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, oils, and the fat on meat. There are v small amounts of carbs in some of those. And there are more carbs in veg, in fruit, and lots more in grains, starchy veg, and so on.
It is perfectly possible to eat what is known as a 'zero carb' diet, but that is basically nothing but meat, fish, eggs and water. Some people thrive on it. In fact, some people eat nothing but steak and water, and flourish.
But those are a very small minority, and I suspect that what your doc meant with his vague statement of 'no carbs' was that you should keep eating a range of foods, including veg, and some fruit, but cut out the major carbs; sugar, sweet fruit, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, pastries, etc. Probably worth checking it with him though, just for clarity.
For myself, yes, I aim for 'Zero Carb' at the moment, ever since I had a problem with Gutrot over Xmas that has left me with problems digesting veg. Probably best described as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, although that doesn't really express the full inconvenience!
Seems to have left me with problems eating anything fibrous, and since my blood glucose doesn't like anything carby, then I am (for the moment) left with meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, animal fats, a little yoghurt, and the odd piece of very dark chocolate.
I now feel great, and can happily continue indefinitely which is surprising, since I have always loved veg.
What I don't love is
the consequences of eating veg.
Surprising how easy it is to stick to a restrictive diet with the correct motivation!
