I have been in ketosis almost constantly since June of 2001. The first two
weeks were difficult - after that I felt a pronounced increase in energy and
mental alertness. I am no longer cranky and miserable, and my once-famous
bad temper has all but disappeared. All my symptoms return if I eat high
carbohydrate foods in any quantity. I'm fine if I stay under 50 gms per day.
