    I feel amazing when cutting out the gluten and processed carbs.

    The people that I see who find it easy to do are those that eat rather simply in the first place.

    We don't mind eating eggs and bacon every day for breakfast, meat and veggies for lunch and supper...........fruit, nuts and yogurt for snacks.

    You feel pretty terrible for a few days to a week (some people call this the "atkins flu"), honestly going too low carb too fast always makes me feel really sick, so if you're going to do it take it down by 10-20g a day until you get where you want to be and eat a couple of almonds or something when you're feeling awful.

    Once your body is used to it, though... I try to aim for 30g-50g net carbs a day (which isn't a hard low carb but it helps me) and I find I feel pretty excellent, particularly in comparison to days I decide to cheat and go over on carbs which makes me feel like absolute hell. I have a lot more energy in general when I'm low carb and less gastrointestinal problems.
