I don't feel good on on 30g of usable carbs/day . . especially for the days other than the couple of days after Carb Nite . . . what can I do to make this work?
How much fat are you eating and how much are you training? You're likely gonna feel a little sluggish and crappy no matter what, but to much training and to little fat can make it much worse.
I would recommend several servings of the “Beef Salad” dish I posted in the recipe section.
You're not going to feel great, until you adapt, which shouldn't take long. Your goal is ZERO usable carbs per day. I spent many months as an endurance athlete on a completely ketogenic diet, read: no carb nights, to increase my respiratory efficiency. I felt GREAT. If you're getting near 30g a day, it's probably not letting your body adapt to fat burning; or you're not eating enough fat.
Get a few eggs with some bacon (or turkey bacon – for the religious people out there). Every so often I'd treat myself to a nice burger joint, like a red robin, cheeburger cheeburger, or five guys place.. ask for no bun and get a burger with all the fixings I want (keeping myself conscious about what ones to avoid that contains carbs). Usually fills me up pretty good.I also have a few fiber shakes. Also invest some money into coconut oil, I find getting them online the best option since I always get them cheaper.And please don't neglect waterAlso, a funny little thing I picked up is buying zip lock bags so that when I come across a cookie I want to have, or cake or french fries, or rice crispies I get from my job, I pack those up so that when carb nite hit, I get to dine in for free. I actually hate going out on carb nite because I lose my mind and I become a huge monster and just eat and eat; which is probably why I think Cookie Monster did CNS, we just happen to see him on his cookie binges.
