[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your objection to carbs?

I'm not sure why you wouldn't add some whole grains, or other healthy carbs like fruit or sweet potatoes, or things like legumes and quinoa that combine carbs and protein.  [/quote]

I do eat those things -whole wheat long fermented bread, beans, berries, apple… I do eat carbs, but I don’t want to add more and eat too many at once as I tend to get headaches and there’s diabetes in my family history. I’m also trying to add a little more protein since I’ve started working out and am trying to gain some weight and muscle. Also the fruit is good, but bread, oats, beans all seem to add to my constipation. [/quote]

So, dropping carbs that low is a weight loss strategy.  It's not healthy eating, it's a strategy people use to address a medical problem such as obesity or insulin resistance.  I don't think it's going to be possible to lose weight without eating a healthy balanced complete diet.  I know that's not what you want to hear, but it sounds like your orthorexia is damaging your body.
