Anecdotally what’s helped me get through the initial crappy feeling of cutting carbs is to eat more fat / protein and stay plenty hydrated. (Plus plenty of sleep.)

I become an asshole when I've cut most or all carbs.

I don't know how to push through that.

At risk of going off thread and offering more anecdotal advice, I’ve switched my habits around so I eat carbs at night (mostly berries, vegetables.)

I also do the Saturday cheat day thing.

Embrace it. Anger and hate burn more calories.

Anecdotally, anger and hate were keys in my diet-soda & coffee based IF diet that helped me lose about 20lb (165->145).

More seriously, my irritability and lightheadedness got alot better after about a week, and it was worth just embracing it until then.

I lol'd, but I did notice (with some dismay, I should probably add) that I really get shit done when I get angry about it.
