In my early days of low-carbing, a loss of poundage was always accompanied by an odd sensation, sort of like a tingling or electricity all over my body, but I felt it most in my extremities. I lost fat in large chunks initially, that would generally happen on a weekly basis. It was also accompanied by a surge of energy.


You could be on to something there. When I experienced symptoms in the past, I often wondered if it could be related to fatty liver, and the liver's reduced ability to work properly. I was quite heavy at 270 lbs.

It seems like lately, now that I think about it, the symptoms have come along approximatley the same time a woosh has. Coincidence? Maybe I'll have to start keeping a log. I've wondered if maybe my liver isn't real happy, aside from the earlier abuse, about giving up the fat it has become so accustomed to the last 5 or so years.

Thanks, that gives me some hope I'm not "killing" my possibly damaged liver with excess protein......
