So I'm wondering -- has anyone had any negative impacts from a low carb diet? I'm reading all the success stories, and can't wrap my mind around why, if this is so effective, it isn't mainstream? I know what the traditional literature says... (cholesterol bad, complex carbs good, fats will kill you ) -- but has anyone's health declined after being on low carb for a while?

For me, I battled feeling dehydrated and more prone to muscle tears/pulls/strains when I stay in keto for long periods.
That's why I began to look at CKD as a better fit for me - so far so good- no issues with dehydration.
