I always feel terrible too. I feel really really rough when I start, get headaches and feel run down, tired etc but then all of a sudden it goes and I feel great!!!I’m on day 6 of low carb, I ALWAYS get bloody ‘carb flu’ or whatever it is when I adjust to low carb. Had a stinking headache for 2 days but feeling good and less bloated. Just had some chopped strawberries and a coconut collaborative chocolate pot and it’s soooo nice the pot is about 100 calories and is mostly just coconut cream and cocoa.
Im not sure about that. Might be worth having a look online. I will start working out once I’ve got over the first week of feeling tit so I’ll let you know how I get on!Oooo great ideas!!
my only concern is the possibility of losing muscle mass... I’ve read that that can happen on a ketogenic diet?
Yes so helpful!!Actually it would be helpful to keep sharing meal ideas on here to help motivation, some things I’ve had
(v) sausages, onion gravy, carrot and parsnip mash and broccoli
baked salmon on spinach with cheese sauce (you’re supposed to add halved cherry toms in but I don’t like them)
halved peppers filled with Mexican chicken/veg with cheese on top and oven cooked
spag Bol with broccoli instead of pasta, and cheese obviously
chicken stir fry
Pork chop, swede mash, sprouts fried with lardons
Pork steak or medallion, cream and mushroom sauce, brocolli and roasted cauliflower
Beef stroganoff with cauliflower rice
Naked burgers topped with cheese, avocado, bacon
Chicken wrapped in cheese and bacon, served with roasted veg; courgette, red peppers, leeks
Cobb salad - shredded lettuce, black olives, chicken, bacon, blue cheese, spring onion, avocado and a dressing of vinegar and oil. You can add cucumber but I hate it
