>> Carbs aren't absolutely necessary.

My personal experience says otherwise. Whenever I have tried to reduce carbohydrate intake my system goes haywire. I suffer constipation, body aches, overall weakness in body during night while sleeping, I sleep worse. I workout every day and I have realized carbs are extremely important (even though I try to take plenty of protein). When I resume carbs most of the problems I cited above, go away.




That's keto-flu. Everyone experiences it when they first start keto.

Supplement with electrolytes.

And eating too many grams of protein causes gluconeogenesis.


As my sibling comment says there's something called keto flu. Have you tried sticking to strict low carb for approximately two weeks or more?

I personally have no problems with a keto diet, and I feel much better and less bloated. But people respond differently to it. If you feel it doesn't work for you, don't do keto.
