Haha awesome, thanks! I spent a lot of time trying to pander to different eating styles, and some definitely work better with my algorithm than others. Low carb is especially rocky since I have relatively few foods/recipes with absolutely no carbs.
One of the more extreme low carb diets, the Atkins Induction Phase, allowed up to 20 grams per day. Other diets such as keto or The Zone allow 50-100 grams.

If you constantly blow out of ketosis, you'll literally accomplish nothing with the diet.
Hence why keto-stix and other indicators are important- no one value works for everyone.
I had to eat less than 25g/day to maintain the keto diet.
Unless you also achieve a caloric deficit.
edit: opposite words day
But of course, "the same meal over and over" is counter to the purpose of your web site, which is to suggest new meals. Great job, and I wish you success!
Interesting. For how long?
I have seen people fast (i.e. no calories, but water and minerals etc) for two weeks, without too much messed up brains.
From what I've heard reported[1] about periods of extreme caloric restriction is that it takes the body around 4 days or so to start dealing with the lack of carbohydrates. Until that point the person feels tired, grumpy, headachy, out of sorts, hungry.

I found your site and it was really really awesome back then, I was impressed! I'm glad to see you're still working on it. I think you're hitting on something really valuable here.
Thank you for your work and good luck with it moving forward.
