Hey thanks man, I am grateful for the suggestion, this keto diet exactly fits my needs, I have been checking it out like crazy, I will get back in a little while on my journal with the foods I am going to eat and delete, please also comment on it. By the way I have been checking out a site called ruled(dot)me which is a community dedicated to that diet, also have their forums, suggest everyone to check it out.

How are you all guys faring on your daily energy levels? Would love to know the exact details.
I've actually got more energy now. It might take a week or two to get your body to switch from sugar burning mode to fat burning mode, but it's well worth the effort. The cravings gradually fade away. I hardly feel hungry most of the time because my blood sugar level is fairly low and constant. I'm burning fatty acids and ketones for energy instead. Before I went on this diet I used to feel hungry a lot of the time and quite tired, because my sugar level was going up and down so much. When I eat now it's good protein, fat and maybe some slow carbs (very low GI). I also sleep better at night, because there's nothing worse than sugar/insulin to give you a shallow sleep that leaves you feeling shattered in the morning.
