On your trial 3-4 years ago of 5 weeks zero carb you mentioned feeling tired on zero carb.
That was it.

Good lord, talk about british understatement! It's clear that the fatigue I suffered at the time was the dominant symptom that really shattered me at the time, but I had other symptoms such as insane cravings for carbs,thirst/dehydration that couldn't be slaked with water, the teeth etc. Mind you, when I was suffering in my SAD diet days pre-RPD, I would mostly only mention the stomach-aches I got and similiarly omit various other unpleasant issues such as chronic sontipation etc.

Neone, she sounds just like my mom who's suffering with thyroid and digestive problems. later on i found out that digestive problem causes all the other problems. she must needs to follow mono diet and stomach calming diet. my mom found that high meat or rotten meats is the best for stomach. that will make the healing quicker itself. good luck.

Such craving almost always is caused by not enough fat.

She eats pretty mono. We rotate between bison, mutton, sometimes beef and lamb and chicken. We get the mutton back whole, just skinned and gutted, I string him up in our room and we start cutting off what we want.. We are coming to the end of it, its been hanging for almost 2 weeks now so the meat that is left is pretty high.
It is thyroid and digestive problems, we have been working on them for a long time now, its just such a mystery.. is it the acid of the stomach? is it the gall bladder? Is my body too cold to digest my food properly? do i have a mix of 10 different small problems making one big one? Could it be a reaction to the small ammount of grain that the mutton gets still. Mabye there is nothing wrong with her physical digestive tract except stress.. *shrug*
She eats raw, zero carb. Mabye one grapefruit a week, so i would still call that zero carb. She's just going with her body on this one, any time she eats fruit or veg or anything that isnt from a dead animal, she doesnt feel as good as if she had just eaten meat instead. She doesnt crave carbs.
It seems most people get rapid small gains at the start, and then the body sets in and spends a few years doing the real repair work inside where you cant see it.

re: dizzyness -if the adrenals are low there will be dizziness after standing, and as someone mentioned its good to add a bit of salt, although i would recommend seaweed instead, also to avoid undereating or zerocarb if symptoms are aggravated, not large meals and not constant eating tho -if thyroid is low there will be pulse in ears, morning headache virtigo type dizziness, this is also helped by seaweed esp iodine both are benefited from proper sleep(eat quite a few hours beforehand, do not stress body to stay up past first real sleepiness feeling, sleep til naturally awake if possible, light curtains to readjust to sunshines wakeup call if possible) non stressful exercise, yoga, weights and cardiovascular activities under 45 minutes to promote circulation, respiration and benefit sleep.
re:repair my digestive issues(bloating, indigestion, edema, constant hunger, diarrhea, feeling of constipation/urge to poo) have mostly cleared up although it has been a good two years since i have eliminated the most severe allergens in my diet, but now i find odd things cause allergies, those that were not on the blood test...which is fine its mostly stuff i have to taste extremely small amounts of at work (rice, bean, coconut milk, hemp seed) and do not ingest otherwise anyway...so still slight bloating/edema/rash if i taste and ingest an allergen...i also have a really fucked up liver i attribute some of this to that!
i will say that once eliminating the severe allergens and while eating mostly raw it only took 1.5 years for my brain to recover from damage done by crippling anxiety, panic, mania, depression....etc...to the point of "pyschosis" that felt to cause a bit of brain damage(no joke) so these things have seemed to heal and my emotions are better then i can ever remember, for the first time last week i felt the feeling of happiness for no particular reason
i was in such extreme ill health of the brain that i was very destructive internally and externally to my body and caused premature menopause by destroying my adrenal function, that is the one thing i am not quite sure is repairable, but i do not feel the crazy surge of hormones from the adrenals at the drop of a hat, this may take quite a while to heal as it was not a slow or short process to destroy
i do not get dizzy upon standing very much anymore, i was quite underweight so i was told to gain weight which is not very socially acceptable LOL! but it think it quells some of the adrenal fears that one is starving! and also helped to raise my blood pressure which has always been extremely low, i also add seaweed or salt to meals which i had never done before
as for fatigue, this is something you must honor, to rest when necessary and to play when the energy arises...but do not force! that is what causes the damage in the first place! i know this is not totally feasible giving the demands of work and life but doing the best to honor whatever the body is telling you is very important...also i might add that a lot of this results from mental stress and asking the brain process taxing ideas or activities so honoring ones true path also leads to healing

I actually ate very large amounts of raw fats at the time.

Those symptoms (ketosis/flora and fauna adaption) aren't exactly life threatening everyone goes through this. Only the tough ones resist temptation

Probably the yeasts in your gut screaming out for SUGAR! Eating fat can help but it's more of a waiting game me thinks.
