Idk if I go with carbs And IF like 16-24h. There is point when my bloodsugar drops and I get HANGRY as fak. With ketosis there is not this problem. I´m used to eat one time a day but really there is big difference between the fuel sources on this one. When you look at nature most omnivores this the right word for veggie eating animals, sorry english not my native) spend most of their time eating. while carnivores eat on much longer interval between meals.

Another big fail point is not having something LC to snack on. having snack that are LC to eat while watching movies and tv is always a good idea.
I swear by LC. I did it 15-20 years ago and lost 55 pounds. I don't do LC per se but I am always aware and I often don't eat both pieces of bread. I have managed to keep 45 of the 55 pounds off.
It really comes down to making lifestyle changes.

I am sure many people wet over a lot of this ground, but avoid processed starches. Switch out whatever starch you can fro a veggie that approximates it, avoid high start vegetables, but if treating yourself(do it, just not too much) look online for low glycemic index starches. NO WHITE RICE, its no different that eating a a bowl of sugar metabolically.
Also, try to make change slow. 1 at a time so as to not overwhelm yourself and get discouraged. Try weird things, eat quinoa and yams and other exotic starches to replace the normal ones.
Remember this trick that always helped me a diet is not a temporary thing, its just a word for what you typically eat, so if you have a bad week you always restart your "diet" every Monday.

Nice. Thats definitely something I'd make too. Although, I have come to find that I really just like raw salmon more than cooked in any fashion. Unless you considering salt curing a form of cooking. Goat cheese is easily one of my favorites too.

No pictures..but I made a pizza crust from cream cheese, almond flour, mozzarella, parmesan and egg last night. If you make it thin crust you cannot tell at all that it's not actual pizza dough.

I highly recommend giving intermittent fasting a spin. I've been doing it for many years, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a simple solution that makes sense.
Losing sensitivity to insulin? Don't secrete insulin constantly (each time you eat you secrete insulin). You can restore your insulin sensitivity by allowing yourself to go into a fasted state (where glucagon is secreted instead).
Low carb would have the same effect, it's just easier for me to limit what I eat in 'time' instead of controlling what I choose to eat. I like eating everything. Experiment, find what works for you. The best lifestyle is the one that you can stick to consistently.
I wish you all the best, just giving my opinion.

I did the "carnivore diet" with one or two meals a day for a while, some time ago and actually that was the best I'd ever felt, easily. It's just too hard to stick with it long term for me. Best I could do was to just use the weekends to have whatever I wanted, mostly since that was when I would be with friends and it was hard to be the one dude not joining in on pizza and burgers and stuff like that. But I didn't just have bacon and steak though and stuff like a lot of newbie ketoers would eat. Had lots of organ meats (my favorites were grass fed liver, and beef heart) made lots of bone broth and sometimes just bought big leg bones and grilled them to eat the marrow inside that I just seasoned with some butter and salt and pepper etc. Lots of fish roe too. I might go back to that again soon honestly.
Had better skin, hair, sleep, shits, soreness from exercise went away faster, and I was more clear headed. Got a decent increase in free testosterone too. Surprisingly continued to gain strength which I was told would be much too hard without a quick energy source like carbs.

Progress report: Almost 3 months ago I started the diet.
Sucked full of fluids, I weighed at my heaviest, 10kg/22lbs more than I do now.
And I keep losing weight.
And I'm not hungry.
And I'm not in ketosis.
This diet WORKS.

It's just a regular low carb diet, yeah? Seems like you like the diet and you're making great progress. Not feeling hunger is probably the best part imo. Keep at it

Ahhhhhh man. Sad I missed this thread until now. Congrats man. taking good care of yourself is the best fuck you you can give to the asshole food/pharma industries. Low carb diets keep the blood glucose levels lower and flatter for diabetics and prediabetics. Good blood glucose control means that LDL proteins don't get oxidized and glycated as badly, and that means that your muscles and fat tissues get to use the fat and cholesterol in your blood rather than having macrophages eat it the broken LDL which causes atherosclerosis. If your blood glucose has been better and continues to get better, then that means that extra LDL in your labs is less dangerous in terms of cardiac risk factors than the traditional model suggests, since that model is derived from a population that lives on the shit western diet with processed sugars all over the place. Those processed sugars are bad as fuck for you because they absorb so fast and they probably fuck up your microbiome too. The other benefit is that you don't get those addictive sugar spikes that dysregulate your reward centers almost as badly as cocaine, so it's easy to stay disciplined if you don't cheat. When I was starting the diet and struggling with cravings I would take a minute to personally insult foods that I'd get cravings for but couldn't have (fuck you bread). keep up the good work and you won't have to worry about diabetes anymore. lifestyle changes like a low carb diet are the best thing you can do for that. Exercise will probably be more useful now too.
for the past few years I've mostly been on a low carb diet that bounces in and out of a light ketosis (I bought a beta-hydroxybutyrate meter off amazon for testing). If you're going awhile inbetween meals, you might actually be doing the same thing, especially if you've got some stress going on since that can shift the balance between the activates of insulin and glucagon\epinephrine (sort of opposite actions to insulin) towards the fuel burning direction. That shift would promote the mobilization of fat reserves, particularly if your glycogen reserves are low from the diet, and promote ketogenesis from fat and gluconeogenesis from proteins. You might want to pick up a meter like I got to check your ketones if you're curious about what's going on with you. I've seen ketones show up in the blood off people who don't eat a lot. There's nothing wrong with having some in your blood if they're physiological useful.
Anyway, I love the diet I do. I don't hold back on the fats, and I lightly limit protein. I feel pretty fucking great most of the time. My cognition is better, I rarely get hungry, and the hunger is always less intense. After a while I started to taste tomatoes or carrots as sweet, and sugar is sickeningly sweet like it should be. Staying away from processed food is actually cheaper for quality stuff, so I make pretty tasty meals with meat and fish, and the vegetable sides are killer, and I eat nuts and seeds a bunch too. If you get your carbs from natural veggies and a little fruit and you balance out the colors (easy way to get variety) and add some healthy oils and spices, then you get a great balance of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. I've become a pretty great cook since I don't eat out too (suck it covid). If you quit relying on sugar to make stuff taste great, then you have to find the true secrets to deliciousness, and I'll settle for nothing less. Here's an early attempt at deliciousness; it's whatever you want to call ceviche, avocado, and bruschetta topping:

Actually, its a fairly lax lowish carb but strictly very low fructose diet.
So, a bit of starch here and there, OK, but sugar, plain NO.
What I love about this diet is that I eat about a kilo of greens along with my low carb and STILL lose weight. The only think intolerable about low carb was that it was low-veg.
Since I can have lors of vegetables, I have calorie dense AND low calorie foods, which makes it bearable.
Food has become a background process in my life, rather than a prominent nagging feeling alternating between, basically, hypo and hyper glycemia.
I can not eat something for 8 hours and feel great.
My belly is visibly thinner and considerably looser.
I'm STILL overhydrated, so its not all fluid weight.

For years my Spirit Guide said: "You will have a healthy weight before age 50" but now, having lost 10kg in the first quarter of the 2 years until that date, jesus, it might just happen.
