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

Those symptoms (ketosis/flora and fauna adaption) aren't exactly life threatening everyone goes through this. Only the tough ones resist temptation  Wink
  The health-problems I got were not immediately life-threatening at the time, I merely stated that the sudden health-problems I got from doing zero-carb were extreme, worser versions of what I'd had pre-rawpalaeodiet, so bad in fact that I would have had to undergo hospitalisation sooner or later, given that there was a constant steady, unceasing decline in my health(I figured that I had less than 4-5 further weeks before I'd have to have carbs or get a heart-attack, lose all my teeth etc.). The suddenly weakened teeth is, IMO, a pretty good indication that there was something seriously wrong given that my teeth had been very strong up until RZC. I can only assume that my glands were so overstressed/overwhelmed by RZC that they couldn't cope.

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.

I would have gone along with that, until I had a stroke and did some research, found that when you eat anything that increases blood glucose level, it stays up for two to three weeks.
For the real benefits of RZC, the blood glucose must be low and stay low.

It seems most people get rapid small gains at the start,

I got a huge gain at the start, because IMO I was not eating anything (evil carbs) that would provoke the heart arrhythmia.

and then the body sets in and spends a few years doing the real repair work inside where you cant see it.

Yes, and I've been wishing that it would hurry up and do it - maybe there's a way - recently some at ZIOH have been air drying (or aging) their meat in the frig, and delfuego found that after doing that to a roast for three weeks, he had the same energy and good feeling that he got years ago from a protein supplement drink (whey). Makes excellent pemmican too.
This is probably pretty much like high meat, which also done in the frig - my point is that you are likely to get a different microbial culture when meat is allowed to dry age at frig temperature.

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

Large compared to what?
Unless you weigh everything and mix to the known proportion(=>70% fat by calories), and force yourself to eat crummy tasting stuff you will not choose enough fat. IMHO

We were all fat-shy. Some still are.

  That's just stupid. I was eating so much raw fat in the way of marrow/tongue in addition to the main meals I was eating(the latter mostly being high in fat, anyway), that I easily reached 80%. The reason being I was so afraid of rabbit-starvation that I avoided  in most cases eating any lean raw meats.

Whatever the case, 1 size doesn't fit all, and the fact that so many do come a cropper on rzc diets, even though they take Stefansson's warnings re fat into account, means that the rzc diet is not a holy grail and should only be attempted, really, by those who have a genuine problem with carbs due to some prior health-problem etc.

The evidence of Lex's experience and that shown in GCBC and Rosedale's work on insulin resistance indicates that everybody has a problem with carbs.
Considering that carbs is not an essential nutrient, and anything in excess of requirement is a poison then it follows that the above was written by your addiction.

Which explains the offensive language.

BG increases only for several hours (not weeks!) after a meal in those who don't get strokes.
