Hi everyone
This is my (21F) second post here and I'm still pretty new and inexperienced, so please go soft on me! :)
I have been a yo-yo dieter my entire life. I've managed to lose tons of kilo's before on keto, but end up binge-eating on carbs as soon as I see the weight drop. Due to this reason, keto has always been my reference to weight loss and carbs have been the enemy.
However, the truth is that complex carbs are my favourite foods. I love Lentils, beans, brown rice and would eat a black bean wrap over a steak almost any day. I still love eating meat, but eating it every day gets very tedious to me and I binge or overeat more often than not. I also make very little money, so having staple foods or non-perishables such as beans etc are much cheaper for me than to buy meats or fresh vegetables in bulk to sustain me.
When I search for information on CICO on YouTube or Google, I am met with so much conflicting information! Super clickbatey titles such as "this is why counting calories are ridiculous for weight loss. This is why you should cut out carbs. This is the only way to lose weight" and I am SO FRUSTRATED, TIRED, SAD AND FAT, GUYS!
Today I ate rice cakes, avocado and a large bowl of Lentils which made me feel Satisfied. All came down to 1300 calories. My TDEE is around 2100. Will this really be a more inefficient way to lose weight than to manage your carb intake? I still can't shake the feeling as if I did something wrong by eating all those carbs.
When I really tried to force myself to eat keto again, I'd end up binge eating the "dirty keto" foods. So think a lot of cheese, double cream yogurt, oily chicken, sugar free keto bars and all of these super fatty foods which I feel too guilty to track.
Anyway, I am not sure if this is more of a vent or a cry for help, but gaining (lol) some perspective from anyone here would really help me a lot.
Edit: I misspelled "beans" omfg.
