Low Carb Diets Support Thread

I appreciate this might seem a silly question, anyway 🙂

The 5:2 diet is a very popular and apparently a pretty sucesful diet so I'm wondering could it be turned into a low carb 5:2 diet meaning 5 days low carb and 2 days normal diet. Or is that just wishful thinking?

My egg custard is low carb, soya milk eggs and sweetener, yes I was trying to keep all low carb but just seemed to be eating a lot.

I'm currently combining the 5:2 with low carb, although not in the way that you suggest. I'm just restricting myself to roughly 500 cals on two days a week.

Too early to tell how effective it is.

Why "yikes" PUP, what`s the thinking.
I don`t have milk in drinks, black coffee for nearly 50 years, I have a trace of milk in tea but only have 1 cup a day, sometimes none.

Maybe he's reacting to the higher carb content of soya milk compared to real milk.

Or it could be that, like most (all?) fake milk, it tastes horrible.

Checked my facts and
Aldi Soya, per 100 ml, each Tesco whole milk
34 cals 64 cals
2.1g fat 3.6 fat
.5g carbs 4.7 carbs
.5g fibre 0 fibre
3.4g protein 3.2 protein
I don`t mind the taste, I take so little in drinks, and the egg custard I like the taste, each to their own taste wise, but certainly lower in carbs than whole milk

I'm still here, quietly reading and learning from you all.

Have been trying to eat fish more often

I really must have a go with egg custards. I was thinking I might try either almond or coconut milk though.

Lost 21bs this week.:j

on holiday next week but will endeavour to stay on the straight and narrow.

I found it didn`t set with Almond milk, great work on the loss
