I’m struggling with the macronutrient ratios still. Low carb feels more like NO carb!!! There are carbs in everything. I’ll certainly be glad to get back to BFL (or similar) style eating. Twelve weeks of counting/weighing EVERY morsel that goes in your mouth gets a little old. I do think the scale will reflect the lower carbs, though! Here’s what today looked like:
