What you are describing sounds like a "keto diet". It is expected that people don't feel so good until the body adjusts to the low-carb diet. Often people speak of "keto flu" in the initial days.
- rubicon33 6y agoI wonder if it's worth staying on for me? I've listened a lot to how insulin is genuinely bad for everyone. But, I don't suffer at all from weight issues. I have been lucky, and never have. I can eat all the carbs and sugar I want, and I don't feel bad, or get negative results. This is making me wonder if the whole "insulin is bad" theory is true for everyone. I find I feel better, and have more energy, if I've eaten a lot. And of course this would be a problem, if I gained weight, had high blood pressure, etc. The only thing I suffer from, that I'd like to improve, is a general apathy and lack of real spark. I lack a genuine DRIVE to really kick my ass into gear. Not sure if that's because of diet, or what...
- bloodorange 6y agoI am no dietician or doctor. However, I can say that you didn't try the diet long enough to conclude if it had any beneficial effect for you. Also, given that you were not aware about the possibility of keto-flu, I suppose you also didn't gather enough information about it before going on such a diet. I strongly recommend that you learn more about the diet before you try it again (if you do choose to do so). It is easy to fall into a pattern where you fail to get all your micronutrients on such a diet. When I tried such a diet, it had a very positive effect on me and I will eventually go back to it.
