I have cut out sugar mostly... then those wasted carbs (chips, bread, etc) that don't really do anything anyway! I'm eating better overall, when I can MAKE myself eat, that is. Time to sneak some more carbs in my developing diet!
Thanks for the info!

I had the nausea really badly in the beginning too. It was so bad that I couldn't stomach any (low carb) food as eating made it worse. One time I broke down and had yogurt and some fruit because I couldn't stand it.
Though at the time I couldn't stand it, in hindsight I think feeling nausea on the beginning of very low carb is a good sign. To me it signals that fat is being burned really fast, and ketones are so concentrated that they are making you feel ill. This, of course, means that insulin levels were REALLY high before, and now they are much lower, which is resulting in a rapid burning of fat.
