LCHF Macro Ratios
Good evening all! I was wondering what you successful LCHF-ers keep your percentages of fat, carb, and protein each day. Today I had approximately 50% fat, 25% protein, 25% carb. What works for y'all?

Newbie to the site
Hi Rose! Happy Easter to you. I am new here too but I agree this community is pretty perfect. I don't know what kinds of diets to suggest but if I were you I'd start with something that worked for me previously. You can always change it up if you need to. I'm trying a low carb thing because I think I have a sugar addiction. Check out the diets tab for some quick info on popular diets.

How does this work?!
I have been able to stick with a reduced calorie diet through the hunger. I was hoping there would be something I could do to reduce it though, and it seems that LCHF is definitely a path to try. For me, I struggle so much with sugar cravings. Carbs are linked to my mood soooooo strongly. I'm really glad that the original topic led to this discussion because I really don't know what to do about mood regulation. Any insight on that would also be greatly appreciated!

How does this work?!
Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I will admit that I have tried to go LCHF twice before unsuccessfully. When I tried it, both times, my mood was so unregulated it got scary. Full disclosure: I have some serious mental health issues, which were not well regulated at that time. I am on new medications now and feel like I'm doing better; I may try again and see how it goes. Any thoughts and feedback is welcome.

How does this work?!
I'm a little confused by my hunger response...I'm sure there are others out there who experience what I'm about to describe. If you do, share some tips or tricks to manage the hunger pangs!!

I ate breakfast around 4:30am; it consisted of 2 eggs, scrambled with minimal added fat (canola cooking spray), and approx. 1/2 cup Special K fruit and yogurt with 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk. By 6:30, I was famished! I figured the carb/protein combo would be sufficient to tide me over until snack time at 8 or so. I was able to wait for my snack time but it was so uncomfortable.

Is that normal for anybody else? And I've been sipping water all morning to boot.
