Sounds like carbs are attacking my friends! Are they sneaking in undetected.
I am putting up a big shield....back off hidden carbs and sneaking carb villains....I AM HERE!
I am here to back my friends away from anything that is "too different" and is coated with something, or hidden in something that is "far from the natural"....back down, we are eating more "closer to nature" things here!!!

Just playing of course, the gist of it is that if you know exactly what goes into it...it is easier to know how many carbs are in it.

I've been trying since my fall to watch carbs very careful. In fact from my calculation I'm getting 10 or less. The probiotic drink I had nutrition said 7g carbs and 7g fiber so it cancels out but my tummy is hard and my body was feeling flu symptoms. From what I read it could be the new biotics fighting with good biotics or trying to fight bad toxins out. Either way I stopped cause I was just nauseated and tmi haven't #2 in like 4 days. I think I'm going to do an epsome salt detox today. That usually helps me. It taste so gross though 😫😂

I hear yah, I am trying to just count total carbs, it keeps me on track completely. I am also only drinking water (got one of those water "carbonators" for Xmas) and coffee (2-3 max a day). These two things have made all the difference for me.
Never heard of an epsome salt detox, had to look it up. Hope it works for you....to get your mojo goin...

I had this happen too. I even started breaking out and having headaches. The dr told me I needed to slow it down.

Less than 10 carbs is amazing. Don't fret the weightloss will come. I ate about 50 extra carbs on the 29th, it took 6 days to get back to my low weight.

You are so funny! I feel safer knowing you have that sort of shield.

My carbs have been all over the place. I decided to stick to 20 carbs M-F, and 30 on the weekends. I'm counting those BBQ wings as 30% higher in carbs than the label.

Nawchem I did have a rash on my jaw line during that same time that is gone now but I thought it could be this face cleaner I tried. I told my daughter earlier that I did read that the probiotic can do that too so maybe it could've been from that too. Also read to start at a lower amount.
