i find diets like the atkins are so dangerous for people they should and will be banned soon.
yeah but the body has to expend energy getting the glucose from other means which means it could put itself under pressure. where it is important though is the brain, the brain can't store energy so needs constant supply of glucose.
i once saw a tv programme where this fella was on the atkins diet, he was a big lad and eating an insane amount of cheese every day, i mean like a pound of cheese a day? maybe thats not how the atkins diet works
sorry i know there are people doing the low carbs diets and having good effects but its just not for me i suppose. i get weak and dizzy and headachey if i miss a meal!!
carb headache's are a symptom of withdrawing from all those bad carbs that we like to sneak in and then, when we start gaining weight we stop eating and suffer through the withdrawal headache!
It must be a carb thing. The Cambridge Diet cuts them out completely and after 2 - 3 days of that you get one mega headache.
