I love carbs almost more than life itself. I kid – but I am really just a bit carb crazy! I know it’s fattening (and a million other reasons why I shouldn’t be as carbsessed as I am). I’d still choose a bowl of creamy pasta over a salad, any day!

All of my best friends are carbs

— elan gale (@theyearofelan) October 11, 2016 

As a self-confessed carb-lover, even I have tried cutting down on carbs before and the withdrawal symptoms are all too familiar to me.

Can you relate?

1. You’re so chuffed with yourself for reaching this point and actually considering giving up carbs.

via GIPHY

2. And while you’re still on that high, you get knocked right off when you realise that almost everything you love has enormous amounts of carbs in it!

via GIPHY

via GIPHY

3. Suddenly swapping your pasta for zucchini noodles, thin crust pizza for cauliflower base and taco shells for leafy greens, doesn’t sound appetising. At all.

via GIPHY

4. You make peace with the fact that you can’t have toast for breakfast. Say goodbye to pizza, garlic bread, bubbling mac and cheese and potatoes!

via GIPHY

5. Just as you’ve made peace – carbs are everywhere, enticing you to give in!

via GIPHY

6. When you’re driving pass your favourite burger joint, waffle house, brownie spot…

via GIPHY

7. Cravings!

via GIPHY

8. The moment you finally give in to temptation and have you first cheat day.

via GIPHY

9. The shame and guilt that follows. 

via GIPHY

10. The next day you pick yourself up, try again and remind yourself why you’re doing this.

via GIPHY

11. You console yourself with the fact that you can still indulge in bacon!

via GIPHY

12. And then you start realising that the LCHF life is not that bad when you can use cauliflower to make rice, mash and even pizza! 

via GIPHY

13. You also realise that when you search the net for delicious LCHF recipes ideas (read Food24!) your life becomes so much easier and you can make everything at home!

via GIPHY

14. Soon you become a LCHF pro!

via GIPHY

15. Words like xylitol are rolling off your tongue. Bunless, courgetti and sugar-free become part of your daily vocab!

via GIPHY

TRY THESE…
