The clock of most diets ticks at the rate of one or two weeks. *For low
carbing the first tick of the clock is two weeks in. *If you stopped
before the first tick of the clock the conclusion is that you did not
start in the first place and thus you can't draw any conclusions form
what you experienced. *It sounds harsh and it is, but it's the reality
of how it works.

This is the longest I have been on a low-carb diet. Experienced some
constipation last week so I swapped some veggies for legumes. Any
other tricks to avoid constipation?

I have been averaging around 70% fat, 15% protein and 15% carbs (50g).
A few days ago, I lowered the protein and now I am experiencing a
metallic taste almost continuously. Would this imply that the prior
level of protein/carbs exceeded that needed to keep blood glucose at
or above body's minimum preferred level? Should I try to avoid the
metallic taste? If so, is it better to raise carbs or protein?
