A small percentage of people (note: SMALL) do experience some mild nausea while going through carbohydrate withdrawal and beginning ketosis. It's usually mild and doesn't last for long, but it does happen, but to imply as above that everyone who follows a low carb lifestyle walks around nauseous all the time is misinformed and just plain wrong. Personally, I've never experienced any nausea because of low carb. I wonder if she's actually ever interviewed people who have been on low carb for a while or if she's just quoting the usual stuff put out by people who haven't got a clue what low carb is about or like at all. Seems more like the latter. Sad, really, for someone who is supposed to be a journalist. Aren't they supposed to be committed to reporting the facts or is it just the facts as they (or the easiest source they can find, right or wrong) see it?
