100 Pounds lost low carbing! Jan 1st 2011-now

wow.... I loved the low carb diet!.... that's how I lost my first 100 pounds too!

I was trying to do no more than 50 carbs a day. That lasted a week...I was way too tired and had no energy and couldnt concentrate. I would really like to know how one does it? Oh, and now that I've increased my carbs again, I'm not as b*tchy, it was getting pretty bad!

Once you get past the sugar withdrawals, energy picks way up, mood evens out, life is much better. I keep my carbs around 35-40g/day.

So how long does the withdrawal phase take? I have fibromyalgia and thyroid condition, so both make me crave carbs anyway.....But, I was losing more when i did this, finally just couldnt take the tiredness anymore as the fibro and thyroid also make me tired anyway. I would really like to go back to low carb......but its so hard to function so I was wondering how long it takes before you are over the grogginess from it? Thanks!

Make sure you are taking a GOOD B 12 vitamin, it helps break down fat and it's a great pick me up to help beat those first draggy days... also buy potassium tablets from your pharmacist, not over the counter.... and take two in the morning with a glass of water... it does a body good

Once you get past the draggy days, which I know can be miserable... you really do FEEL so much better and have more energy than you will know what to do with

You look fabulous! Congrats on your success!
