    We're not attacking you.

    But "Low/no carbs" is very imprecise.

    Would you like to clarify what exactly you mean?

    how do you people have enough energy for shenanigans without carbs? I would have to be celibate to give those babies up

    i'm giving it a try for the hell of it.

    i've learned 3 things

    1. the human body can hang onto an unbelievable amount of water

    2. low carb diet is really good at eliminating the water

    3. assuming i eat an adaqute amount of carbs, i can eat whatever else i want and still reach my goals assuming i'm eating to my calorie plan.



    I expected to be super low energy when i started. Suprisingly i've not experienced this. The first night i was actually so keyed up i couldn't sleep. i"m used to ruining on fumes basically though, this might not be everyones experience.

    you'd have to basically eat ONLY meat to go zero carb.

    Butter and eggs too.

    lol i was just thinking the same thing.

    its not easy.

    I'm eating 2100 cals, and its tough for me to stay around 40g.

    i've read that under 50g is ok but around 20 g is optimal.

    i don't eat any fruit or vegitiables (or grain obviously). All of my carbs come from nuts, peanut butter, eggs and whey protien.

    you'd have to basically eat ONLY meat to go zero carb.


    No.

    was i asking a question?

    No.

    actually its probably more like trying to run a gasoline engine on pure ethonol.

    it kinda works and kinda doesn't... but do it for too long and your asking for it.

    your brain supposedly starts running on keytones... whatever they are lol

    I hope you know that there were no malicious feelings, thoughts, or vibes in my comment toward you. Nor was what I said an attack - implied or direct.

    I am being 100 percent truthful.
    If I tried to eliminate carbs from my diet - good, bad, or indifferent... I'd be miserable and would go into binge mode.

    And I do, honestly, wish you luck.

    20 to 50 grams of carbs is optimal for what? Crashing and burning...?
