Apples are good because of the fiber. My DD has to do low carb and apples are great.

It's better to look back on life and say: "I can't believe I did that" than to look back and say "I wish I did that".

I saw good results after 3 months. Unfortunately that cycle was a NT though due to gender split. So I stayed on the low carb another 4 months till my successful cycle.
I stayed on <20g carbs a day. Very low. This counter might help.

I only did it for 2 months- the last month I was stricter. I avoided white bread, rice and pasta. No potatoes and veges high in carbs- ie corn. No sugar or processed foods like measuli bars. I would eat a low carb protein bar for breakfast, nuts inc almonds and plain Greek yoghurt and frozen berries mid morning. For lunch I would eat 2 boiled eggs with one piece of soy and linseed bread sometimes with a can of tuna. Dinners would consist of meat and veges- if I had stirfrys I'd have it with some brown rice. I made sure I ate plenty of nuts, avocados and sometimes apples when I needed something sweet. I didn't go full strict no carb as my body couldn't do it but basically I avoided high GI foods. I still had one coffee a day and 1-2 glasses of wine a week (no alcohol during stims). This worked for me with quality. DH still drank coffee- 1-2 cups and alcohol- 2-4 drinks a week.

I haven't made many diet changes for this first cycle, going to go low Carb or no Carb as much as poss. In the last 3 weeks of this cycle and see, then continue it in case I cycle again.
I just know I will find that diet so hard, very hard to eat a food unless I like it. Think I'll be sticking to lots of hummus with cucumber carrots and pepper slices, nuts, and steak or chicken with veg!

Apples are not bad in a general sense, but not good if you are trying to achieve very low carb. They are almost 20gm carb per serve (the total amount you would stick to for extreme low carb for this purpose). They are a simple carb and therefore have higher sugar level than a complex carb (which would also keep u fuller longer) and therefore would raise insulin levels higher than ideal. Id aim to stick to complex carbs only and maybe have something like an apple as a once off if you were craving something sweet.

I am just wondering:
Is it really bad to eat carb once a week? I mean, it must be better than dont eating low carb at all?
On saturday we have a familything with eating pizza, sweets and such stuff. I am petite so it is really hard to explain why I am eating low carband
