The truth is, if you take the time and planning you can make substitutes for anything you want! Most days I try to stay below 20 carbs.

For me it started out as weight loss, then after doing so much research I decided regardless if I lost or not I felt great, was never hungry, got rid of acne and rosacia.... and also got rid of most of my allergies.

I am also on several FB groups that have thousands of people on them that have used this WOE not only for weight loss, but diabetes,cancer,epilepsy and many other things.

It's something that you have to research for yourself to see if it could work. Begin with the book I recommended earlier, Keto Clarity by Jimmy Moore and Eric Westman MD. It is a very simple and straightforward type of book to help give you some answers. Also, Maria Emmerich has some great books and cook books.

Other good books although not specifically LCHF books, but they do lead to a better understanding of what we are eating is NOT working. Wheat Belly by Willam Davis and Grain Brain by David Perlmutter MD.

It's been a long journey and I don't expect 'most' people to embrace it the first time they hear about it. After all since the 70's, we have been trained to believe FAT is NOT good:-(

I agree that it's a journey! I think you and I are on the same "wave-length" here. I began with Wheat Belly, went to Grain Brain now am on the 7 Principles of Fat Burning by Eric Westman and son will be starting The Cholesterol Myth by Jimmy Moore. I'm finding that while this woe isn't easy...it definately is simple AND a mind-set. Our culture surrounds us with food...it's a way we connect with people AND we're unudated with commercials (foods) and of course all of the restaurants. We definately "are" what we eat!!
