Not sure what it is but I'm getting sick of carbs. Tried rotating through all of the options: Rice, Oats, Quinoa, Lentils, Sweet Potatoe / Yam, etc. Thought about delving into a Ketogenic Diet but my knowledge on this field is lackluster at best.
Would appreciate some insight on this idea. Even though I've only been seriously committed to dieting for ~5 months (That is eating the same structured 6 meals/day - prior to which I was still dieting albeit my knowledge/understanding was minimal) - would switching to Keto this early be a problem ?
Every time I eat my pre/postworkout meal I cringe and I just look forward to the next pro/fat meal. As well, exactly how few carbs am I suppose to have ? I know carbs are needed for basic function so would having 1 carb source in one meal be feasible or the overall purpose of a Keto diet ?
This is what I came up with, keeping in mind I can't have nuts/fish.
