Yes, I tried it and felt that way too.
Your body runs on carbs. To make it burn protein, you have to make your body think its starving. That switch takes a while.
I don't recommend it, and I'd bet you're not even heavy!

Not to mention that getting a nervous/shaky feeling is not a good thing, it is extremely unhealthy to lose that much weight in the first week. Carbs are the number one source of energy in people so by eliminitating those, you are depriving your body of its main energy source. i'd suggest to ditch this diet and just excercise more and eat healthy. the way to lose weight is to burn off more than u consume. theres beter ways of doing that than by cutting out carbs completely or on a low carb diet.

Freash is the best, such as salad, fruits and veges, however i completely understand that our bodies crave something more substantial and filling. Over the last year i have dropped a lot of weight and gained a lot of confifdence, energy and motivation in all aspects of life. I recommed the following for you, and may i add i never felt like I was restricted on a diet! Breakfast - I eat a bowl of cereal (not sugar based, or museli) with skin milk. & a peice of toast honey, jam or a spread you like. Other good options are baked beans on toast, eggs. LUNCH - Wholemeal salad roll(can add ham or turkey or chicken). This is the easiet option - via subway or takeaway joint. Tuna or chicken Salad. Small portion of brown rice and veges or salad or lean meat DINNER - I suggest a portion of meat or fish with salad or veges. Mix your protein up each nite - eg Steak, Chicken, Pork, fish. Its better not to eat bread at dinner or starchy veges such as potato. I highly recommend you try not to eat too late, the earilier you eat dinner the better (brush your teeth if you get hungry before bed so you don't eat again when you get the nibbles). And the other key point, its better to indulge a little at lunch than dinner. Say you have been craving that pasta/rice, pizza etc have it for lunch not dinner. Eat lighter at night. Portions are soooo important. Breakfast is my biggest meal, I have a coffee & piece fruit for morning tea, roll for lunch, nuts, fruit or yoghurt afternoon if hungry and low card dinner! If you feel hungry between meals thats cool - nibble on fruit, & unsalted nuts. If i had to give you 5 rules to follow 1. Drink lots of water each day(i carry a 1.5 lt bottle) 2. Smaller portions and do eat small snaks(avoids bulk binging) 3.Enjoy your bread, pasta, rice & other carbs earlier in the day. 4. Lighter dinners - have a cut off time to eat eg by 7:30 5. Do eat the good oils -nuts, avocado, olive oil etc they actually help metabolise food and your skin, eyes, hair will look fresh. Get out their and enjoy, make sure you move your body where and whenever you can. All the best- you will kick ****!

Don't give up carbs. Carbs are good for you. You need to eat fruit. You can cut back on bad carbs and eat small portions of good carbs like noodles, bread, potatoes. Exercise everyday and you will be fine.
