carbohydrates

In a worse case scenario just go extreme and hit up a CKD or Atkins diet haha. The Inuit cope pretty well with pretty much zero carbs.

This is where knowing your plants is important. Fruits, berries, roots, nuts, leaves, and even bark (granted it's inner bark) can all contain plenty of carbs. The smart observer will notice I've not included things like grains, seeds, and those kinds, even legumes, peas, and that kind of thing. Well, they're easy enough to plant and grow. I have been sneaky and planted plenty around where I live and in a few other areas.

If you're smart enough with your foraging, you'll have already popped a few things into areas that you've already checked out.

Did someone mention that getting to know your mushrooms is also very important? Yes there will be some that won't take time to get to know mushrooms....fair does. I've gotten to know a few that are near impossible to I.D. wrong, and am sticking with those few. The words "It's the only mushroom that looks like X" are keys for my mushroom knowledge. If it looks like no other mushroom, and is 100% easy to identify...then I'm okay to eat it. If there's a chance I could get it wrong, I stay well away!
