In an effort to up my carb intake and avoid deep ketosis, I'm continuing to add more starchy vegetables and fruit into my diet and feel a thousand times better. I almost immediately gained 2-3 pounds of water weight but actually was so dehydrated with aches and pains that the extra water in my cells is a relief! I'm still optimistic that everything will settle down. I hardly ever count or track anything, I do low carb by ear, so to speak, but for fun I used the tracker on the Atkins website for a few days and naturally hit my marks nutritionally and am taking in around 40-75 net carbs a day. This is comfortable for me. We'll see how it goes. If I gain serious weight, I'll dial it back some, but so far so good.
