I'd just like to add carbohydrate withdrawal is no joke. It will make you feel "hungry" in a very specific way, even if you've just eaten and are physically full.
Seems to be the hardest for the first 14 days and you'll be mostly beyond it after about a month (YMMV).
Feels almost like the flu at times (lack of energy, headaches, general lethargic, etc). But once you're through it you'll have more energy than you did before you started, and less up/down swings.
If you want more information read people that either went full Keto, or did things like the "potato diet."
edit: Just to be clear, I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I was just trying to let you know what to expect so you don't worry there's something wrong or are surprised at how challenging it can be.
