You cut out carbs, no more gluten. Convert your body to run mainly on ketones instead of carbs and glucose.

Why on earth would you suggest that?

The OP has not mentioned any health problems that warrant such a restrictive diet. No grains, no pseudo-grains, no beans, no lentils, no root vegetables, no tropical fruits, no tree fruits, no milk, no fruit juice, no alcohol? Again why?

IME from years studying and working in lifestyle healthcare, DIY very low carb or ketogenic diets invariably end up poorly balanced and poorly varied. Neither budget conscious as the OP requested, nor healthy!

For example substantially increasing intake of nuts and seeds for minerals, bulking fibre and calories substantially increases intake of omega-6 fatty acids. To balance that out you would need to substantially increase omega-3 rich oily fish .... daily.

Perhaps you meant cut out starch rich foods rather than cut out carbohydrates? If so those concepts are a long way from being interchangeable. Consider reading much higher quality, unbiased dietetics sources rather than commercial ones. Ideally the original published research.

Such a diet might reduce the number of choices of food available to choose from, leading to less paralysis by too much choice.


That type of diet explicitly cuts out grains and gluten (hence the Celiac connection to OPs post), which helps OP have fewer problems.


And as the body is shifted towards burning fat, the normal source of energy then becomes fats - which are easier to buy in energy/volume, meaining the "I also have a very physical job (on a work day I consume 800-1000+ calories above the normal intake for a regular person)." part of OPs post might be easier to achieve.


But of course OP is free to add sugars too, and mix and match as they see fit.


It was only a suggestion. Not sure why you feel so hostile.
