Oh, I almost forgot, speaking of fats…
I am actually on a low-moderate low glycemic index carb, moderate fat, high protein diet
One gram of protein per pound of body weight from direct sources (not counting the incidental protein from veggies, nuts etc)
Mostly Fats come from unsaturated, omega 3 type sources like a variety of nuts
Already discussed the carbs.
I think eating a higher amount of good fats and severely limiting bad ons like saturated fat, omega 6s (red meat) really helps, at least it does for me. I’m not eating enough carbs to fuel my body per day so the fat burning gets turned on and the healthy fats help with that. Not a full hard core keto type diet but like you, kinda of a hybrid.
