Welcome to the forum, you are doing great! I really have gotten a lot of help from Fitday.com as well. Glad you found that resource.

Apparently, there are no benefits to going below 20g carbs, and in fact can slow down weightloss. But I totally understand how it can happen at the end of the day, you realize you didn't eat enough carbs.

As far as the warm face? Uh huh, but mine was hot feet. As a *girrlll* I had never experienced warm ANYTHING on my body. So hot feet were certainly a revelation.

It is an artifact of the lipolysis (fat burning) you are experiencing during ketosis....you are burning fat, dude!
