You need to be more precise, fresh or packaged food, most stores/restaurants have low carb options if your creative.
Or do you mean an Low Carb business like Paleo Cafe or the Primal Pantry which I'm not sure Melbourne CBD offers these options.
Not trying to be a smart arse - but seriously, Queen Vic Market.Been LCHF since Jan and shifted a good bit of weight, Im gonna be in Melbourne from Aug til Oct this year and was wondering where is the best place to shop, for LCHF items?

You can talk to the sellers if you want to know where their produce comes from.
No worries at all mate
Sorry about the brevity of the 1st post, was trying to avoid putting out a questionnaire style post
Basically just trying to get a feel for where is best to buy your meats/cheeses/fats (butter, lard/tallow, MCT oil...) etc from, i.e. will Woolies and Coles suffice or is it more butcher or farm shops, markets for fresher healthier, unprocessed stuff, as over here in Scotland the main supermarkets still push the old lean meats are best pish.
Im not Paleo or Primal in that respect, just LCHF at its basic form, shifted 4 stone (25 kilos) since Jan and Im almost 50 and havent really exercised much, some walking and some golf. But Im feeling the best Ive felt in a long long time.

What Mofra said.
Mct oil should be in most health food stores under the Melrose brand, there's a heap of health food/supplement stores in the Melbourne cbd
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, silverbeet, spinach, mushrooms. Anything green is good and as long as it grows above the ground you should be safe.Was wondering for the people who eat pretty strict LCHF what are the vegetables that you mostly eat? I know carrots, potatoes, onions are probably out,but it's a bit inconsistent across the internet and even products labels in terms of how many carbs a veg has and how many of those are fiber.
Also any downside to eating around 70 grams of nuts a day?
Beware that cashews and peanuts have higher levels of carbs compared with macadamias and brazil nuts.
Go to the website below if you lift and want to gain. They have calculators, carb cycling programs and info on how to keto adapt faster (use fat more efficiently as fuel).Hi everyone - first time poster. This thread caught my attention a few weeks ago and after doing some research, I started LCHF on the 1st of this month. About a year ago I started eating "clean" (but this included oats, brown rice, lean meat...) and my fat intake was pretty low, but I only ever loosely tracked my macros and calories. I started at around 80kg and I've been at 65kg for a while (about 12% BF and abs are clearly visible). I do weight training 4-6 days a week and my strength has increased significantly over this time. Now I'm looking to put on size but I don't want to regain any/much fat, which is why the LCHF lifestyle has attracted my attention. I've seen people say it's possible to gain lean muscle on LCHF and others say it's impossible, so I'm a bit lost.
Since Wednesday my carbs haven't gone over 50g and my fat has been around 170g with protein staying the same at about 150g. I've dropped to 62kg in this time, which I'm guessing is just water weight from eating a cup of oats every morning prior.
For breakfast I've been eating 2-3 eggs, a bit of meat (this morning was two pork rashers), a long black with coconut milk or coconut oil and butter, and spinach. For lunch I'll have 200-300g of grass fed meat cooked in butter or coconut oil with 100g of brocolli and maybe another egg. Dinner has been more meat, 100g of broccoli and another 1-2 eggs with a salad soaked in olive oil on the side. I've also been having a square or three of Lindt 85% for dessert some nights. I've been doing a bit of research and I've read that calories don't really matter on LCHF, only macros do. Is this true or should I be tracking and eating over maintenance? There's just a lot of information to take in so I'm sort of stuck.
On Friday a did a back workout at 12 after having breakfast at 7 and I was just feeling sluggish and struggled towards the end of each exercise. Is this due to my body adapting to eating less carbs or should I be doing something different?
There's some very insightful information in this thread and it's definitely changed my thinking towards what I eat, but I haven't had the chance to read every post. I'm just a bit clueless so any help/tips would be much appreciated.

Edit: Oh, I'm 20 y.o. by the way.
I go as low as 1800 on some rest days and as high as 2800 if I'm refeeding, I do actually count calories on mfp but more out of curiosity than to adhere to some super strict diet.Just curious.. I know most you don't count calorie intake.. but if you were to provide a rough estimate.. what are your calories roughly?

Thanks for that.. I was catching up with a mate from uni.. and we were chatting about training and diet ect.. he has jumped onto the vegan high carb low fat aka durianrider style.. and he was trying to convince me how he was eating 3000+ cals a day ect.. which I replied "yeah but you energy output matches your energy intake.. pretty simple" the dude cycles for hours a day.. walks everywhere.. he can afford to smash in calories like that if he is making use of them.. to your average joe or jane that works 9-5 will have a maximum an hour of activity a day that lifestyle is not feasible... but for him it fits his lifestyle.. part time at uni.. working minimal hours..I go as low as 1800 on some rest days and as high as 2800 if I'm refeeding, I do actually count calories on mfp but more out of curiosity than to adhere to some super strict diet.
