this happened because unlike most cells and tissues in the body which can use fats and proteins for energy, your brain can only use glucose, or sugar. during a no-carb diet, your body will actually start converting fats and proteins into sugars for the brain called ketones. this only occurs for a few days, at which point your brain will start craving sugar. this is why you were probably tired, had a headache, and were very dizzy. you do need some carbs, so have some fruits and veggies :)

.....um, because you weren't eating any carbs? I don't recommend a no carb diet. I recommend a low carb diet. There's a difference.

I tried the no carb diet a few weeks ago and had a terrible headache everyday on the diet (4 days). The minute I ate a slice of bread it went away! Does anyone know why this happened?

Makes lots of sense. Thanks. It always bothered me that the diet studies left out potentially key variables. Life (and the biological system) is not that simple.

not strokes, perhaps hyperchondriasis...

I'm going for my CT scan tomorrow. 2 months ago, I got really dizzy and confused, I couldn't think straight, and my brain felt empty. I saw small orbs of color. Walking seemed so weird somedays. It feels like my brain and body aren't connected sometimes. My lips have gone completely numb. When I read, words don't make sense anymore. I get people's names backwards all the time now. I forget what I'm doing all the time. Heart test came back fine. Hopefully this scan shows something, I'm only 26!

Those are not mini strokes. |
