How long have you gone carb/sugar free? Every time I try it I crash for a few days at the start with low energy levels. After a few days the body adjusts and I feel fine. Started low carb this weekend, Sunday I fell asleep during the 2nd Q of the Browns game because it was physically impossible to keep my eyes open (and the Browns were AWFUL).
The real, first time I went carb free I didn't load on fats, so it was doomed to fail (???). I lost too much weight and I felt bad. Tried to eat chicken soup and bone broth.
Now, when I do this I don't completely take out the carbs I think. I'm not consistent at all because i'm not sure that what I'm doing is right. But when I eat fats and lower my carbs ( I guess I don't enter ketosis if I eat even very low carbs though) I feel better. I don't binge, I have no interest in sweets and my appetite is more stable.
Does anyone have any recommendations how I can make this a lifestyle if it's indeed healthier for me? like what to eat and how much thoughout the day.
From recent blood checks I have very high CPK (I have a lot of muscle aches and I have lost tons of muscle in the last few years...). I wonder how I can combat this and why it happens. My body just destroys my own muscles. Doesn't seem like I can feed it.(maybe absorption issues?). My muscles get tired quick.
