    If you truly cut out carbs then, yes, you will feel like crap for a couple weeks while you body adjusts.

    When I see people do this to themselves I have to wonder why? Why would anyone want to eat like this... I honestly don't get it.

    Why would you cut out bread and rice if you love those things? Did your doctor tell you specifically that you need to do that?

    I would personally “crash,” in the sense of being unable to stick to my calorie goal, if I refused to eat foods I wanted.

    If I suddenly and dramatically cut carbs, I would “crash” in the sense of having very little energy.

    Seems like a bad idea. Even if you absolutely needed to cut these from your diet why wouldn't you gradually eat less instead of jumping off a cliff?

    Be kinder to yourself.
