At first, it was dificult because the body is used to the carbs and the sugar to get that energy going, but once i passed that "bump" I feel better than ever. I have drop two size pants and 7 pounds mostly from my waist line, but am also doing heavy cardio and weights. I think anyone can do this diet if it is determined. After a week you will no crave any sugar or carbs.. and once your body starts using stored body fat for energy, (Ketosis) You will feel better than you have ever felt! :) the only down side its that there isnt much you can eat, variety ways, but if you are creative you can come up with some meals!

I'm always glad when I get it, for then I know that ketosis is really in full swing. I drink one or two big glasses of water and it's gone. HEADACHES

Many raw fruits and vegeables upset my stomach, and I'll cut out almost all when I have problems. <br/><br/>Not sure if it's the "best" way to live, I too like variety (although probably not as much as most), but i do firmly believe that completely cutting out carbs is MUCH healthier than mostly cutting out fat or protein. And eating only animal products is definitly healthier than eating no animal products!

I had a headache last night and again this morning at the gym. My carbs have been fairly low all week.<br/><br/>I'd rather deal with cravings than daily headaches.

40g is my cutoof for cravings. I stayed at about 40g over the holidays and had no cravings at all. Most of the time I’d rather have the mild cravings that come with a slightly high carb intake (50-60g).

I still eat a lower carb (20g-40g) than probably others at Maintenance, but I certainly prefer my green peppers, cabbage, and cauliflower options as well. <br/><br/>I would go along with statement that it does not seem as if the intake fat is necessarily consumed by the body in its entirety. My experience said much of that was passed on through. If you are following this WOE, I would hope a good vitamin is in your regimen and the #6 unwritten rule is to exercise.
