Always feel tired
Carbohydrates (carbs) are a macronutrient that provide energy for the body.
Carbohydrates are the main source of fuel in our bodies, restricting your carbohydrate intake can have a major impact on your energy levels. As a result, you will feel tired or exhausted quickly.
Lack of concentration or attention
When you eat low carbohydrates for long periods of time, your energy levels drop and your concentration suffers. You may also feel restless or irritable most of the day.
Foods like brown rice or quinoa are extremely good quality carbohydrates and important to consume.
Flatulence
By reducing your carbohydrate intake, you are also reducing the amount of fiber your body needs each day, since fiber is abundant in whole grains and fruits.
Therefore, adequate carbohydrate intake will significantly reduce bloating.
Bad breath
If your breath smells bad, it could be a sign that your body is lacking carbohydrates.
When a person goes on a keto diet, one of the most likely consequences can be a serious bad breath problem.
When we stop relying on carbohydrates for our body's energy and turn to fat instead, acetone is formed, which is why our bodies smell bad.
Mood swings
Just because your brain isn't getting enough glucose, the hypothalamus (which balances our moods) will continue to secrete hunger hormones, which can have a huge impact on the hormones responsible for keeping your mood calm.
