I've been low carbing for a week, prob about 40g of carbs a day, I've lost almost 3kg and notices my stomach is a lot flatter. After day three I had a really sore throat, that's now gone and been replaced with a mighty headache.
Generally I eat some full fat yoghurt with a few almonds plus a scrambled egg and mackerel for breakfast, either fish or chicken with Mayo and pesto plus some veg (green pepper or broccoli) for lunch and evening meal is chicken breast with lots of broccoli or salad with olive oil or mayo. For a snack I have some yoghurt or 0carb pastrami.
I'm drinking about 2-3 litres of water a day and carrying on my normal fitness programme of swimming for 90min or running for 40min each day (one or the other, not both).
I have two questions, the sore throat and headache, are they normal?
Does this diet sound ok?
