I had bouts of memory loss I cut my carbs so low. I'd wake up in the morning and couldn't remember what I had for dinner or what I watched on TV. I felt kinda buzzy all the time too. I've decided 8% is gonna be my limit from now on. I just wanted to see how low I could actually go and 6% was enough for me to throw in the towel.
I may never get to that 5%-7% but it is a goal I have always wanted to attain. However, If i get down to sub 10% and have define abs then I may say screw it.
