If you can break your carb addiction the rest is not that hard. It was very similat to quitting cigarettes for me. Cut off carbs for a few days, it will feel horrible until day 3, then you almost feel euphoric but you still have an urge. Keep it up for a week then you start replacing the old habit with a new one (intermittent fasting with keto diet for example, or cardio). Even when I slack off, so long as I don't touch carbs I can just cut down on food intake or workout a little bit and I will have so much more energy. If I actually workout properly, people will notice changes in my energy level and attitude. It's really insane why it is so hard to make simple changes with immense benefits like this. I feel normal after stopping cigs and other vices but I am telling you, cutting out or extremely reducing carb intake has had the most impact on my life. If I didn't know better I'd be calling carbs an addictive harmful drug (in reality, our modern way of life that requires minimal carbs for fuel and healthy bodies that are energy efficient are causing a conflict with traditional meals and ingredients). Once you get some control/discipline over what you eat, controlling when you eat is a lot easier in my experience. When it gets hard to stick to the diet, intermittent fasting can compensate for lack of good calories.
