How low can go before you lose your sanity with carbs? Does anyone feel the blues on low carbs?

I have found if I eat less than 100g a day I get angry and lash out at people a lot but 150g seems to be a sweet spot for me.

    Every person's reaction to what amount of carbs will be different.

    I know just starting out on it, I had the severe carb-related migraines for the first two to three days.

    After that I had been completely alleviated....

    I do though, have to have a minimum 65g per day per my Endocrinologist - and this is based on my individual and unique medical situation.

    No problems at all with my moods! :D
    It's obviously a very personal response - we are all so different.

    i'm eating about 20-30g carbs a day. I'm eating a lot of fat however. The fat keeps me happy. That's the key.
