talk to your Dr, they aren't all the same, some suit some people more than others, it's finding the right one for you.
it's a good idea to ween yourself on and off them, sudden starts and stops isn't good for the system and can cause problems

Nicola, you have reduced your carbs, have you increased your fats to replace the lost energy? this could be why you are tired

I don't think Nicola is currently able to sustain a consistent lower carb life style of eating and eating extra fat can be just as "nibbly" (for snacks etc) as carbs.

To be honest I believe that to benefit from lower carbs you have to be able to do it on a consistent basis.

Having a mixture still of carbs and increasing fat adds to problems.

I know I'm butting in here, and answeing effectively for Nocola but when being skint and struggling then food and low carbing or high carbing... You just want some food!!!

There was a poster not long ago that said how difficult it was getting low carb food from a food bank. Although not in this position, I think when you struggle to make ends meet it is difficult to lower carbs day in day out...and adding fat in can actually just be adding in extra calories when nonody really knows how lower carb the OP is able to sustain on a daily basis.

If I was Nicola I would just use Myfitnesspal on a daily basis to check for calories..but again you have to be in a state of mind to do this on a daily basis....

Nocola...:) don't be so hard on yourself. Life is hard. Nothing is easy or perfect!

I was just trying to say how hard it is do lower carbs consistently when on a limited income and that adding fats in is only really for those that can lower carb on a consistent basis. Low budgets for food is hard.

We all want your ha, ha's back!! Just want you happy, and healthy.

Remember Reservoir Dogs where the gang used aliases: Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Brown, Mr. Orange, Mr. Pink, and Mr. White.
We'll do the same but with a different theme - I suggest Mr. Blood, Mr. Sugar, Mr. Needle, Mr. Hypo, Mr. Hyper and Mr. Carbs. We'll also need a boss of the gang and a heist organiser/underboss like "Nice Guy Eddie" did in Reservoir Dogs.
Once we sort out who's in and who's not and who's who we can go from there.
