Anecdotally what’s helped me get through the initial crappy feeling of cutting carbs is to eat more fat / protein and stay plenty hydrated. (Plus plenty of sleep.)
- pmarreck 8y agoI become an asshole when I've cut most or all carbs. I don't know how to push through that.
- tstrimple 8y agoEmbrace it. Anger and hate burn more calories.
- verall 8y agoAnecdotally, anger and hate were keys in my diet-soda & coffee based IF diet that helped me lose about 20lb (165->145). More seriously, my irritability and lightheadedness got alot better after about a week, and it was worth just embracing it until then.
- pmarreck 8y agoI lol'd, but I did notice (with some dismay, I should probably add) that I really get shit done when I get angry about it.
- gdubs 8y agoAt risk of going off thread and offering more anecdotal advice, I’ve switched my habits around so I eat carbs at night (mostly berries, vegetables.) I also do the Saturday cheat day thing.
