[USER=93162]@lcarter[/USER] - this is a dramatic entre into low-carbing indeed!The trouble is we humans should be able to go some time without eating at all, let alone just lowering the carbs for a matter of days, without it being life threatening. Water on the other hand - absolutely. Dehydration can be and is seriously life threatening. But not just knocking out a macronutrient for a couple of days. Our species is way hardier than that.But, you may have felt like your life was threatened? That I can understand. 'Low-carb flu' has freaked lots of folks out before today, and will probably do so again. To such an extent no fullsome write-up on low-carbing does not include it.Did you do a good read up on how low-carbing can affect you physically? And what to do to avoid it? (As in upping your salt and healthy fat. And being prepared for feeling a bit out of sorts as your body switches from glucose burning to fat burning - which is absolutely normal and healthy for humans when cutting or dramatically lowering the carbs, or food generally.)</blockquote>
