Time for my mega morning update!
Love the photo of your sheep @VeryLittleOwl. And concur with others about the landscape/view. How beautiful. I'm very envious of those of you who live in such lovely countryside and/or by the sea.
@ChristMyArse and @venusandmars sorry to hear about family woes. It's tough isn't it? When they're babies/toddlers you think it's hard. No-one actually tells you that it's hard (sometimes harder?) when they're teens/adults! And I absolutely agree that 'you're only as happy as your unhappiest child' is true. We have DS1 back home with us (since we went into tiers at the beginning of November). He'll soon turn 29, and isn't a very happy boy man, but beyond making sure he's safe, well fed and watered, it's very hard for us to make things better for him. Thankfully we do all get on living together, which is one thing. (And the house is big enough for us not to be on top of each other all the time).
Hopefully family woes can be resolved soon 
I very much identify with the desire to wake up svelte as well! I don't sleep brilliantly, which I am assuming is just a menopausal thing. But at least I don't have to worry about getting up/going to work, which did used to put a huge amount more stress on me. The whole lying awake at 2/3/4 am thinking 'I have to get to sleep because I have to get up soon'! I genuinely thought, though, that once I'd retired, the removal of any work stress would help me sleep better, but sadly that hasn't happened. I know that I need to re-introduce some exercise during the day to help here, but just can't bring myself to do it when the weather is so bad. Might try that tea though - even though I don't like tea and hate the taste of valerian!
@CaptainOmelette sorry to hear about the headaches. I'd definitely go for more electrolytes. I might even try upping your carbs for a day or so, just to see if that helps. A slice of wholemeal toast, perhaps? Maybe a milky drink before bed?
@ouchmyfeet
I'm constantly dry mouthed despite drinking 4.5-5 litres per day
What are you doing/taking for the electrolytes? The dry mouth does suggest you need more sodium, so are you getting enough salt? I might also suggest that you cut down on the water for a day or so, to see if that helps.
If you're getting the smell, along with @ListenLinda and @pelosi, that does suggest ketosis - but it could also signal that your carbs are a little too low. Although it should temporary, remember that we don't need to be in ketosis to lose weight - and this isn't a keto diet.
@Jollyholibobs sorry to hear about the cystitis - it's horrible. Make sure you keep an eye on it and get to the Dr if it hasn't gone away - you don't want it to become an infection. Be aware, though, that carby stuff can make it worse - I don't know what you ate, but simple carbs (sugar, rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, chocolate) are all things that would make it worse!
@Dreamqueen well done for resisting the lure of the carbs!
@ouchmyfeet
From a carb point of view, tinned coconut milk is fine on the WOE - just avoid the light ones
Here are some carb counts - per 100ml/100g:
Sainsbury's 5.7g carbs
KTC 2.2g carbs
Dunn's River 1.1g carbs
Amoy 3.3g carbs
Gold 2.2g carbs
Also - be aware that this is a very processed food. All of these brands use thickeners and emulsifiers, so it's not really something to use every day!
@WitchWand
With regards to the spoonful of flour in a recipe, are you meaning to reduce the flour to 1 spoonful ? Or are you meaning to remove the spoonful of flour completely?
If it's the second, does anyone have any ideas of what else can be used to thicken sauces that's LC?
I very, very, VERY rarely thicken sauces with flour or cornflour. You can thicken a sauce by cooking it down - or just have it as it comes, obviously depending on what the dish is.
Sometimes you can use any veg that's in the sauce to thicken it, by blending it in - if I'm roasting meat I'll put it onto a trivet that I make by slicing up shallots or onions and a carrot, adding some water/lemon juice or wine into the roasting tin, and then blend the cooked veg into the juices to make a thick/thicker gravy.
Lots of Chinese recipes thicken their sauces, or coat their meat before cooking, in cornflour. (Chicken, for example, is often dipped/soaked in a mixture of egg white and cornflour, which gives it a sort-of coating when it's cooked). This, I would avoid.
But generally, just use your common sense. If it's a tablespoon (15g) of plain flour in a dish that's going to serve 4 people, that would make 2.7g carbs for each person - so not a lot in the great scheme of things.
A tablespoon of plain flour is 10.8g carbs
A tablespoon of cornflour is 13.2g carbs
@LittleMy77 sorry you're struggling mood-wise. I think, personally, it's a combination of the weather and the current pandemic. It seems like our way out of this is stretching further and further away, despite the good news such as cases and deaths coming down, and the rate of vaccination rising. It's very unlike Boris to be so pessimistic and cautious, and so I think this is his way of preparing us for less-than-positive news on 22 February.
However - the sun is shining, and there are flowers appearing in my garden - spring is definitely on the way!
Why not try to do something extra nice for yourself today? Whether that's something lovely (low carb!) to eat, or something hugely indulgent to read/watch/listen to?
I don't know if you've watched Bridgerton, but I can highly recommend that as a really enjoyable piece of visual fluff! Real escapist stuff.
