I started on Low-Carb diet to be able to do intermittent fasting.

When I started intermittent fasting with 16/8 (eating window 8 am — 4pm), it was hard to get through the evening and I was ravenous by night. I cooked all the meals at home using fresh ingredients but sheer amount of wheat, rice and starchy vegetables like potatoes kept spiking the insulin level and making me hungry frequently.No amount of water could satisfy my hunger during the fasting period.

That is when I stopped cooking traditional dishes and started preparing low carb food. It kept me satiated throughout the day and stopped feeling hungry in the evenings.

Last week, I had posted a week long diary of meals and exercises. Here is another week of low carb meals.
