    How to do it

    1. Decide what a lower-carb day means for you, in your own words.
    2. Build plates around vegetables, protein and healthy fats.
    3. Tick the habit on the days it fits.
    4. After a few weeks, look at those days next to your leg check-ins.

    Easier version

    Start with one lower-carb meal, such as breakfast.

    Safety note

    Check with your doctor or dietitian before making big changes to how you eat.

    Why women include it

    Many women with lipedema talk about low-carb or keto-style eating. Some like to log which days were lower-carb and compare them with their leg check-ins, to see their own pattern.
