Default How many gram of carbs is too low?

The first few days of Atkins, with all the cravings and everything, I was
able to get up to 18 to 20 grams of carbs each day. But now my cravings are
gone and my appetite is minimal. I found myself skipping lunch today
because I just wasn't hungry. Yesterday I had only about 8 grams and today
only 5. I really think this might be too low.
I need some advice from those who have been there thanks.


It's not that you're not getting enough carbohydrates,
nobody ever died of a carbohydrate deficiency.
If you're as low as 5-8 grammes per day, you must be living
on meat and fish, and maybe some eggs + dairy. Nothing else!
You have to eat some vegetables, and don't skip meals.

I envy your lack of cravings btw, mine never went away
