Hey John,

Carbs work similarly to alcohol in terms of activating dopamine and receptors for pleasure and addiction. There is an actual physical withdrawal which manifests as a keto flu after stopping carbs within the first few days. This all goes away after a week or two so it's important to remember you goals and focus on the reasons you decided to make this lifestyle change. In addition, getting rid of any tempting items from your home when starting keto can help prevent a weak moment from hurting your chances of success.

Please remember, if you fail you can immediately start again and keep trying until you succeed!
