-- I am trying the low carb thing and I seem to be expeiriencing the exact oposite. I am totally cutting out carbs and I have to go to the washroom a great deal but painless for a change! Also I am expieriencing a huge amount of excess energy. So much so that people are commenting that I cannot seem to re lax? Wow if the low carbs don't make me lose weight the energy will/ Still not sure about this diet though.
