Some you know along side low carb / keto, I also started dabbling in fasting. It's not something I recommend without doing due diligence. Last night I stopped eating by 8 PM (for Game of Thrones).

Since Keto, I had to create a new play book of recipes. Most my old ones were carbohydrate dependent. Great news is I'm at a point where I can begin to once again forecast my food. This is where I shined last year losing weight! I'm excited to see how it works this year.  This is what I’m shooting for: 20 - 40 g total carbs a day, half being fiber 80 – 100 g total protein 100 – 200 g fat My plan allows my body to use existing fat stores to supplement my nutritional fat deficit.
