Recording my dinner here. Too complicated to worry about making a recipe and portioning it. Since I don't worry about calories and only truly concern myself with net carbs and fat, I just need to know what I ate. It would be nice if you the food journal allowed us to just type in what we want and add the time we ate it.
I made a dish of no-fat refried beans, topped with a lentil and rice mix, white meat chicken in homemade taco seasoning, topped with black beans and shoe peg corn and salsa. The goal of this meal was to stay below 5 grams of fat. I ate at 5:15 and will have to wait at least three hours before switching fuel sources if I decide to have dessert. I'm quite satiated though.

It resembles the OWL phase of Atkins, only more structured. It encourages healthy carbs and alternating fuel sources, fat or carbohydrate. Imagine a pyramid. Protein is the fulcrum and you have fat on one side and carbs on the other. There are several facebook support groups that you can get a gist of what exactly it is. They also have a website. It's a permanent way to eat.
My only challenge with it is that I did Atkins for so long, I have challenges creating (E) meals which are their energizing meals. They have a limit of 45g of carbs and a limit of 5g of fat. This might be easy for some that have a low-fat diet background. (S) meals, satisfying meals, have a limit of 6g net carbs from store bought sources and up to 10g net carbs. You alternate different types of meals by a three hour time period so your body has time to finish using a fuel source before another is introduced. They also have (FP) meals, fuel pull, that are low in fat and carbs and are centered on protein. The great thing about this is that certain veggies are never counted in the carb count.
There is a bit of a learning curve, but I've seen the testimonies and people seem to actually be able to stick to it. It's not a quick weight loss solution, but neither is the Atkins OWL phase. There was too much freedom and not enough knowing my own body when I tried to switch to OWL. Imagine this diet giving you the guidelines Atkins is missing.
This diet is supposed to rev the metabolism because your body is constantly trying to guess the fuel source. It's also excellent for balancing blood sugar.
