I don't think carbs are the issue. I think it's specifically bread-related carbs. I can't be arsed to go into detail, but by dint of a little laziness and maybe lowliness (depression), I have consumed two loaves in a fortnight, and I seem to be `puffier', not larger or heavier, just a bit bloaty and not quite in sync with myself.
So, yesterday morning after the pool, and many other things, I
sorted out brown rice and quinoa for a week (rather than buying packets),
flavoured at the secondary absorption phase with a stir through mix of herbs
and spices, then quick-chilled to create the perfect deli-fridge for the
working man. Add to that, cooked fresh meats, salads or raw veg and a handful
of mixed nuts a day, and I rather suspect that things will be settled by the
end of the week.
I tried full keto, but it kept tripping me up. So, I've gone back to balanced flexitarian but cut bread back to an absolute minimum, and we'll see how we go.
