If that's the case, then the first two weeks will be extremely difficult on you. Trust me, I just came off of a keto diet. Prepare for mental fog, difficulty concentrating, and a really flat look (as your muscles lose glycogen/water storage).. It's all mental. Stick with it. For myself, after about 10 days straight of under 30 grams carbs, I felt terrific.
My advice is to get a lot of green tea and add it to a gallon of water per day. With the lack of carbs, the way Pulumbo structured it, your metabolism (body temp) will slow down.
I don't remember if he recommends a carbup or not, but I'd most definately recommend one or even two per week. It all goes to filling up your muscles anyways, and doesn't put you too far out of ketosis.. I personally like two carb up days during a ketosis diet like this. Gym performance improves greatly, which is really what you want in addition to the scale going down. I structed mine close to what Lyle recommends.. Starting with high GI carbs, then working my way down to the oatmeal and sweet potatoes.
