When my husband cut out carbs, he went through a withdrawal, he says. We didn't eat "much" carbs before, but I baked sourdoughbread and made kombucha, we had weekly pancakes or spaghetti, daily a piece of chocolate.. He was fighting the cravings first two weeks and felt big setbacks every time he had something at grandparents or so. That's why I jumped now on this rough diet of one meal a day and carbs under 20g a day allover, which cuts out even veggies for now. I'm terrible overeater hung on donuts, chips and soda and honestly fear any setback will take me too hard. We can't have chocolate or chips at home as a rule, because I'd eat it whole in a minute, I know it. But I have no withdrawal, it's 8 days now.👀 I'm happy, of course, but am I dead? Is it too soon? Today I stopped in the bakery and drooled over the chocolate stuff of course, but is that it? I expected worse feelings. Will it come later? Can I enjoy some apples or carrots now?👀 That said, I bought a sauerkraut today, that should be fine and healthy on more levels. #keto #diet #hungrybear #carnivore

Go for fibres and protein. I wouldn’t care about sugar in veggies so much. Never ever eat fine milled cereals, like in bread and donuts. For fibres i can recommend sweet corn, but you shouldn’t stamp it, because it should come out, as you eat it. This will blow up your intestinal and things in your intestinal villi will be released (this can be a high amount). If you make things right you will notice it on the toilet. It should all come out at once, shouldn’t be too liquid or hard and shouldn’t stink. It should smell light sour. Sorry for the last tip but in my opinion it is one of the best ways to analyze. Never ever sweets and convenience food. But if you go for fibres you can eat a lot. You have not to stay hungry all the time and the body won’t absorb it. Fine milled sugars get fast and fully absorbed, while the sugars in veggies or fruits not and with enough fibres all around even less. Full unmilled cereal is quite ok, because it has a small surface in opposite to fine milled cereal. Of course you can eat sweets from time to time, but you should go for a diet you can do all life long as kind of lifestyle. I can imagine, that one meal a day is kind of hard to follow through and when you stop it there might be that rebound effect. At least this functions for me and i blow up like a balloon just when i eat a brötchen(sorry don’t know the translation)(;

Ah and stamped corn has a lot of calories, so it is important to eat the full sweet corn. In that case it is more of a fibre thing cause your body won’t absorb anything because the human body can’t digest fibres:)

Ah gut…ich meine Maiskörner, welche aber nicht kleingestampft beziehungsweise zur Paste verarbeitet werden. Die Maiskörner dienen dann eher als Füllmittel im intestinal. I meant sweet corn that is not mashed or crushed because there is a lot of sugar inside. So maybe no polenta or tortilla chips etc. At least i heard it that if you are on a diet you should avoid sweet corn. I had always a good experience with it as filler (i never ate it mashed, like in salad)in the intestine, like all fibres (Ballaststoffe(; maybe roughage is a different word for it, but it sounded a little odd to me). And of course you can eat some bread every now and then but better of rough milled flour and better no wheat especially not so fine milled. Rye flour should be quite Ballaststoffreich. You can look for nutrition with Ballaststoffe in the internet. Look them up and eat the ones you like. I think sauerkraut or cabbage or lentils and stuff like this. I eat a lot, but I keep weight or reduce it this way. I even eat a lot of oatmeal with applejuice. Oatmeal (Haferflocken (am besten grob)) has everything inside the body needs and keeps you not hungry for quite a long time (yes there are carbs inside too, but at least to me it is very, very different from the carbs in white bread). If you eat meat, that is good for diet, but only if you roast ityourself from raw meat. Fish is even better. But you should avoid wurst or all meat that is treated with nitrite curing salt, cause that is poison. Less eating is of course definitely good for loosing weight faster but relatively what you ate beforehand you will lose weight anyway. Some people can eat everything they want, but I‘m definitely not one of them but this is a good way for me to reduce weight. I guess I have now shared all my wisdoms about nutrition with you I guess. I hope that it functions for you or/and your husband. If not…a thousand ways lead to Rome, as we say over here(; … but I would be proud to help if it works for you…you should experience it with the analysis i told you before. This things should occur instantly ( at least after 3 or 4 days…maybe earlier). All the best and good luck(;

If your body is already used to using fat as a fuel, you won't necessarily get a big withdrawal from reducing carbs. Everyone is different! Personally I find that having some sweet stuff is way more difficult than having none. Once I've allowed a bit of transition time (a week? 10 days?) zero carb is easier for me than low carb. On low carb I'm constantly fighting the impulse for a second piece of apple or dark chocolate - because I can easily inhale a whole dark chocolate bar - whereas once I've transitioned to carnivore I just don't really care about sweet tastes anymore. (Which begs the question of why I left carnivore a few times! I may post about that soon.)
