Hi - very low carb for 10 days and feeling anxious and weepy! Connected?

[Bryonyshcmyony]

I've been low carbing for 10 days, have lost 6lbs and felt happy. Last couple of days I have been feeling v emotional, teary. And today really anxious.

I had a double vodka last night and also feel so hungover today which probably doesn't help.

Is this a thing, oh wise low carvers?

*carvers!

Oh bugger. You know what I mean!!

I read somewhere that fat stores a lot of hormones, so when you start to lose fat you can feel hormonal. I’ve no idea if it’s true - there’s so much bullshit written about weight loss. I often feel weepy when I’m losing weight but it’s probably just because I’m so bloody hungry.

According to this it is. I just had a headache for a couple of days when I started.

That would make sense. I'm on HRT so normally hormones are quite well controlled, but I feel a bit like I did in peri menopause (nuts)
