[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2182112, member: 401801"] How did I manage the transition? Badly, because I got a whole lot of bad advice and had to experiment a lot. But hey, that's where my meter came in, and a whole lot of reading. If I'd found this place sooner, it would've been less of a muck-up, but hey. ;) Lots of people deal with this whole carb thing while also taking other issues into account. Food allergies, dislikes or sensitivities, religions and principles... You name it, you can adjust low-carb to suit it. Don't do eggs and fish? Up the meats, cheeses, creams and above-ground veggies. You have to get your fats and protein from somewhere, so... You know there's people who only eat meat? So one way or another, it'll work. Just takes a little time to figure out what suits you. As for the light headedness, well... Could be the fast reduction of carbs is giving you a touch of carb flu, but that'll pass. (Drink bone broth or coconut milk to replenish the lost electrolytes). Also, when you reduce carb intake, you'll probably ingest less salts, so your bloodpressure could be dropping. I know mine has. Take it easy. You'll get there. It won't happen overnight, but you're on the right path. [/QUOTE]
