I agree with you. It's hard to get over what has been drilled in our minds from birth about how the only healthy way to eat is low-fat.

I'm almost done with induction and although everyone's experiences are different, I can share a bit of mine. The first few days I had a bit of a problem with headaches (from carb withdrawal I'm sure) and irritibility. Also a fair amount of muscle weakness (Take your supplements and drink water!). After about a week, the muscles are stronger, no more headaches and I feel GREAT! The cravings for carbohydrates disappeared about the 3rd day. Now I have a *lot* of energy and am motivated enough to exercise. I actually *want* to exercise now, (LOL that is SO not me).

The irritibility is gone too, now i'm just happy.
