Removing Carbs

I do keto and I have dropped 30lbs. I know that's different than what you are talking about, but I found that www.reddit.com/r/keto has some really good information, resources, and recipes.

If you drink pop/soda, it would probably be a good idea to replace as well. I have found that many of the pop companies are starting to bring out flavoured carbonated water which gives you the sensation of drinking a pop (carbonation), better taste than regular non-flavoured carbonated water, and no carbs/calories. If you do decide to go this route ensure its the non-sweetened ones, some carbonated water replacements just substitute sugars with artificial ingredients which I would not suggest.

I also do Keto, started 6 months ago and fantastic results. Of course, at the start my body did have to get used to it.

I did the keto diet for 8 months with a weight loss result of 65 lbs. I limited carb intake to 20 carbs daily. If you are not going for keto, then the replies above are helpful. You most definitely want to cut out all processed foods and up water intake (Hail Hydration). You will want to also cut out some grains and flours as just one serving of oat meal can have up to 40 carbs. Just keep in mind that your body uses carbs as a go to energy source. So decide on how many carbs you want to cut. Probably no less then 100 daily especially since you run which utilizes carbs for energy. Also learn out to count net carbs....

Great recipe for quick metabolism here.

I'm gonna be the bad guy here and say that Keto is like the CrossFit for your diet: sure you'll see results almost immediately but it isn't healthy in the long run because your body stores excess protein as fat which wrecks your kidneys.

Doing something as simple as cutting excess junk food, soda, alcohol, and smoking out of your lifestyle paired with balanced cardio and strength training will be more than enough to maintain a long-term healthy life

On a slightly tangential note, RLS is partially hereditable (a lot of people on my mother's side of my family have it) so it might not be something you're doing wrong per se

Carbs are an essential part of your diet. Fruit and veg are carbs, and should make up two thirds of it.


Getting rid of milk, grains, and any drink other than water (which are also carbs) is the best thing you can do for your health.

It's easy and wont screw up your metabolism either.

In terms of finding a healthy diet, everybody is different.

I need keto to stop the progression of my diabetes. So, that's what I do. Yes, it's tricky and has to be monitored, but it's better than taking insulin every day. So.
