[QUOTE="Razper, post: 2052140, member: 473465"] Thank you so much guys... you really cannot imagine what your help means to me, God bless you! Actually Lamont I felt so weak today - I measure my sugar and it was 4.9 mmol/l which is pretty stable... but I was feeling bit shaky and irritable, almost as if I was hypo... but I wasn't. So I took a bit more carbs, the symptoms vanished almost instantly (in 10-15 minutes) but 3-4 hours later I was in the 4.1 mmol/l range and I was feeling weak again. Maybe I'm confused since I think that to be functional, a male like me needs around 200 grams of carbs per day (this information I took from some fitness site), and limiting myself to 50-80 grams per day, I'm thinking that I might be limiting my body from vital carbs for my survival and energy. When a person is in ketosis, he uses the fat as a source and maybe that's why the energy is improved, but will my energy improve if I continue and persist on 50-80 grams of carbs per day, which so far keeps my blood sugar pretty stable. Is it hard the transition to ketosis, and what if accidentaly I get out ot ketosis? What should I do if I enter keto and somehow have low bloog sugar? How to fix it since I cannot eat carbs? Maybe I cannot wrap my head around the concept of just limiting the carbs on one hand, and on the other hand being in ketosis. Last two days I learned to eat cucumbers and tomatoes (which for the last 27 years since I was born I didn't eat). I'm determined to succeed. It's not all about the blood sugar, I want the stable blood sugar, but also stable enegy, because I don't want to have normal sugar, and be so weak that I barely work... :) [/QUOTE]
