[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 941378, member: 43498"] The reason you would feel unwell if you came off carbs cold turkey is that you are not adding back enough fat. Because you still think cream and butter and full fat options are bad for you. Which they're not. We have said this many times. If you followed our LCHF recommendations (to the letter) you would likely feel unwell for about 4 days then you would likely feel absolutely brilliant, provided you stuck to the recommendations. I recently went through this and it wasn't that bad. By slowly weaning off carbs and not adding in a small/moderate amount of fats, you are making it hard for yourself. You're getting the downsides of feeling unwell without any of the benefits of low carbing. Have you thought any more about moving in with your nan? She seems to be able to provide you with an optimal environment for making sustainable changes. You could even do it for say 3 months and then reconsider where you want to live. I know you love your parents and that's great. But you can still have a good relationship with them if you live somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
