My observations on low-carbing:

I noticed that when it gets colder I'm completely loosing any cravings for
carbs. My itake is quite low anyway (about 50-70 g)  but now I have to watch
(force) myself to eat at leat 20 g per day.

Have anybody else noticed similar effect?

When I started low-carbing such low levels of carbs had given me a deep
ketosisi but now with adequate protein intake I have only sometimes trace
amounts and I feel generally fine, lost any cravings for sweet taste.

Paul Sand
