Re: During LC, how to escape brain fog?

I wonder if looking at this a different way will help you out. You say you've been on and off LC for 6 years. You experience brain fog when your carbs are too low. You get some relief from the brain fog when you increase your carbs, while stilll losing weight.
I guess the big question is, what's more important..losing it faster and feeling icky, then putting it all back on...or...losing it slower, feeling better, and keeping it off?
There's no rule that says you have to stay at 20 gr carbs a day. If you can still lose at 50 gr, then go for 50!!!  |
