What about simpler meals? So that there is LESS work, less standing, peeling, chopping, etc.

I tend to go for a lot of 2 ingredient meals. Ie, baked chicken and buttered broccoli. Steak and green beans. And so on. Just a suggestion.

Also.... I hear you on the missing potatoes thing! But there are A LOT of people, who can include occasional (normal) portions of potatoes in their LC plans. It's usually grains, that make the cravings reappear, the water retention start, and the scales bounce up inconceivable amounts the next day.

Also, just fyi; you can find shredded, unsweetened, desiccated coconut in the baking aisle.
