Luckily I haven't been irritable this go around, but then again the alcohol probably takes the edge off at night and has helped me avoid that. I am cutting that back now as well, so we'll see how THAT goes haha.
I agree with ya that it's definitely not sustainable. I think pulse carbing is the best all around compromise and will go back to that eventually.

I have a suggestion for you and anyone else who may be interested. Several years ago I stumbled across an article by a guy named Tom Venuto, he is a bodybuilder who competes in the "all natural" competitions. I was very impressed by the article so did some research and found an e-book titled "Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle" much of the info I try to share here comes from this book as well as a body building forum I frequent. In his book are no magic methods or ground breaking new ideas but it is a very comprehensive book based on real data, science and proven methods. He is not big on suppliments or any of the hype around fat loss and body building. It is straight forward and full of no bull info. It contains everything from what to eat and how to workout and WHY. The first part of the book is motivational which I found boring but the rest is the best I have ever read, look into it and honestly if you purchase it you will not be dissapointed. It's everything you need to know.
