Hi, it’s hard having to eat particular types of food. By carbs do you mean bread etc? Is this for fibre? I wonder if it is the carbs that make you gain weight or what you put on them as we rarely eat dry bread or pasta.
Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum Hidden
First of all, none of us are medically trained so please speak to your medical professional before making any changes to your diet. However, weight loss is about having a calorie deficit so I see no reason why this isn’t possible within your eating requirements. In general, any changes to your diet needs to be done slowly, so perhaps you could introduce more fruit an vegetable slowly 😊
