Hi Laura - oh I see - you gave yourself that month before exercising. I've been low-carbing since January 1st and I've just been walking but I start at my gym April 1st so that will be the true test of things. I'm at 25-40 carbs/day. Think I'll start with classes and if I need to adjust and eat more, I will eat more protein, fat and veggies. Then if that goes well, I'll start on the cardio and lifting.

Have you thought of starting your own journal in the journal thread? You can post what you're eating every day. In my experience, people on this site are extremely knowledgeable and supportive and may be able to help you with your WOE. Salt, salt, salt. And have you read the low-carb books by Dr. Atkins? Sometimes we can pick up a hint or two on things we might be missing in our low-carb diet. I don't like to think of you with fatigued muscles every day!!
