This thread is a continuation of discussion about low carb and keto started in thread Meat grosses me out. Feel free to share your experiences with this lifestyle. Is vegetarian low carb possible?

But it is also easy to eat well-balanced. I think your idea of full-fat dairy instead of low-fat is a very good idea...and that seems like it would be okay insofar as hormone balance. It sounds like you are open to learning. That's so cool, too.

Yes, I have dinner at 5.30- 6 pm and breakfast at 8, so that's quite a long period of fasting. It's not on purpose, just how my day is organized
I don't want to be keto also because I simply like eating fruit, baking my sourdough bread, potatoes, legumes and pasta from time to time. Keto seems a little too extreme when one wants to lead a relaxed lifestyle and eat with family etc... In me it would create diet mentality where I would crave forbidden food and I would be stressed by "I want to eat this but I'm not allowed to". I suffered like that during my numerous low fat diets, don't want that anymore.

Low carb seems like a healthy compromise to me.


I'm not a vegetarian, but I used to be for 3 years and recently I've been thinking about decreasing my meat consumption for ethical reasons.I don't think I'll become a vegetarian soon but I will definitely try more vegetarian low carb and see what happens
Although exotic fruit and nuts are ecologically bad, too, some are worse than ethically produced meat from small local farms. I tend to think in terms of local/trustworthy source rather than meat-vegan. Fortunately, I live in Europe where animal welfare laws are a little better than in the US.

Anyway, I'm going to eat more vegetables
