Step2 810kcal Cutting carbs before starting

[callumsmammy]

Just wondering what peoples experiences are of reducing carbs before they started ... Or not reducing them. I will be starting friday so i wondering if i should reduce my carb intake this week or not.
I have done the diet twice before and haven't reduced them but headaches were really horrendous. Im trying to figure out if this is maybe why the headaches were so bad.
Thanks in advance for any help.

could be - some people get carb withdrawal headaches. Personally I don't cut them because i find the big first week loss really motivating and most of that is carbs/water. But if that first week loss doesn't motivate you it probably is a good idea

I always cut down beforehand. I literally just cut the carbs but still eating as much meat & cheese etc as I want. That way I am having the carb withdrawal separate to the food withdrawal. Though sometimes that cheeky pizza sneaks its way in the day before the diet.... best laid plans.
