Re: Advice on Carbohydrate-free Diet
I say, "yes" to cutting out all refined carbohydrates, but not complex carbohydrates. Good insulin control (balance) can be achieved with complex carbs by limiting consumption to one serving per meal. For example, one serving of whole grain rice with a meal. And there are many other intact grains to choose from.
By eating a diet high in animal protein you're missing out on a lot of phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. And you're likely to become constipated because of a lack of fiber.
Perhaps you are thirsty because of a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet. Fresh fruit and vegetables naturally contain lots of water.
