It's a lot harder to drop carbs out of my diet but I have to. I let any of them in my body and now I'm dying again woo! Yall can do what you want but I will find a source of animal products if I have to eat the local quails and their eggs. When you can't eat legumes or tubers or fruit or grains, you'd be better off starving to death if you can't even have a steak with your green beans. I just wish I weren't addicted to carbs. I need to get back on keto to get my body back again... 😩

I have to get on keto again and lose the 60 lbs I gained after I fell off the wagon, and stop feeling hungry all the time. Carbs are a fucking bitch.

I have Coeliac's and things with gluten are out for me unless I want a lot of misery for a couple of days (which sucks because I love bread). This cuts out a lot of things for me. I also typically do a very low-carb diet because, for whatever reason, it vastly improves my mood and how my body feels.

That said, I am moving to grow a lot more of my own food with plans to have my own chickens for eggs and eventually raising most of the meat my wife and I consume. The rest we plan on sourcing from local hunters (wild boar and overpopulated deer are big issues where we're moving) and farmers We also eat a lot of seafood, so probably less land-based meat than most already (definitely less than when I lived in the US).
