I'm at the tail-end of my first "Carb Nite." When someone first starts the CNS (Carb Nite Solution), they go for almost 10 whole days of eating under 30 grams of carbohydrates a day. At the end of the 10th day, Kiefer tells them to go all-out on carbs.
It's really weird that he has been able to tell me exactly how I would feel each step of the way on the diet. And, as he foretold, I feel stuffed even though I didn't eat more tonight than I used to on a regular night. Also, I have this warm and fuzzy feeling all over my body, like I've crawled into a fleece-lined sleeping bag for a nice nap. The only difference is that I've been feeling this way while I'm awake! Right now, it's a love/hate feeling. I love the warm and fuzzy feeling, but I hate the overstuffed feeling that I have as well.
As for the previous 9 full days on CNS, it started out pretty roughly. I barely got in under 30 grams of carbs the first day, the second day I barely ate any carbs because of not knowing what was safe, and the third day was fine because I was eating some carbs but not too many, but I had some pretty severe hunger pains while my body tried to persuade me into eating more carb-rich foods. Days four through seven left me with a cloudy mind, but I was still able to function pretty normally. After that, I settled into the diet and felt comfortable with what I was eating.
Now, I'm simply curious to see what tomorrow is going to feel like!
