Funny you mention this, lately I have had a hunch that carbs could be something to eliminate from my diet. I havent been able to do it 100%, but I have kind of a checklist of things in my mind of ways and habits to change. Eating carbs is on there. I may give it a closer look

The keto diet is pretty forgiving. I did it for 2 weeks and aside from missing snacking and being annoyed that I had to check the carbs on everything (apples have a ton of carbs apparently-- who knew?) it was easy. All my normal meals are frying some meat in oil, plus steamed or fried veggies, plus a carb like noodles or rice. I just stopped making the carb and went heavy on the olive oil and voila. I didn't notice too much difference, energy-wise, as in I didn't notice that I became a different person full of energy like I see in some positive testimonials. So I haven't continued it. But those first few days after I went back to eating carbs I sure did notice the hit to my energy in the hours after eating them.

Mid 30s, When I started going to ~one meal a day (dinner), my sleep was better and I didn’t have the afternoon digestive tiredness.

I only have coffee for breakfast (black, dairy doesn’t feel great to me first thing), keep hydrated, if I eat a huge dinner (large salad,carbs,protein,fruit) it’s amazing how it lasts 24 hrs.

I do not go to the gym though (not sure if my eating habits would be compatible with being a gym goer, I do walk a few miles a day though).
