Great, doable advice from people who’ve been in your carb-loving shoes.
If you’re serious about eating a lower-carb diet, here’s even more info on how to do that, as well as a quiz that will test your ability to spot carbs in different meals and snacks.
So we asked the BuzzFeed Community to share what tips and tricks helped them successfully eat a lower-carb diet without becoming murderous or hangry. Keep in mind that all bodies are different, and what works for someone else may not always work for you. And always check with your doctor before starting a new diet or nutrition plan.
Alright, here’s what they had to say:
“I try to eat most of my carbs earlier in the day since that’s when I’m burning the most fuel and also because breakfast carbs are the best kind of carbs. I’ll tend to eat double veggies with a protein for most dinners.”

“I don’t mean eating zero carbs when you have a meal or snack, but limiting the ‘carby’ add-ons. For example, when eating ice cream, ditch the cone and get it in a cup, and when eating out, try to stick to water (tbh, this is really hard and I don’t always stick to it). The little changes don’t seem like a lot, but you’ll really see them add up.”
