I think the ease of institution of the regimen can vary as individuals' balance of fast-twitch and slow-twitch (white meat, dark meat for the poultry familiar). Know that your smooth muscle, (heart, blood vessels walls, intestinal walls) are fueled by glucose. Your brain and nervous system run exclusively on it too.
The diet's object is to end the fast and easy conversion of carbohydrates and sugars into glycogen, the energy storage molecule in your liver and large muscles from which glucose supplies are detached and circulated for that use. Fats, oils and proteins are also processed into glycogen too, it just takes more time and energy. In certain neurological situations a ketogenic diet is instituted for just that reason. This diet conversion should probably be undertaken before you go out above the normal activity or duration as the depletion of the rapidly available stores leaves you in the rarely exercised conversion to stores that are slower to respond to physiologic needs until more rehearsed. You can end up with low blood sugar level presenting various symptoms ranging from lowered consciousness, heart palpitations and GI distress since that system represents the largest amount of of smooth muscle and is also the one the body will take off-line if supplies fall short. Preservation of the prioritized critical operations will ensue. Lack of stores forces the body the body to initiate those choices and if continued something called catabolism will ensue where the body will begin to breakdown functional tissue to make energy. Your GI system's tolerance of the diet is another issue. Difficulties can come from a shift of dietary intake in the liver's production, smooth flow of, storage in the gall bladder and secretion into the small intestine to emulsify fats, oils and lipids in the diet. Requirements for the substance exceeds the flow volume the ducts can support or the product becomes sludgy. Pancreatic secretions have digestive enzymes which, if any structural barrier to the flow of the volume produce in response to dietary intake can begin taking the same action (digestion) on itself resulting in pancreatitis. Poor responses to Atkins diets are frequent in the literature. Have to listen to your body and know where you are starting. You may have more brittleness to this metabolic change that is either on the molecular or structural level or it might be well tolerated once the conversion is complete. This audience is generally an active one, benefitting all of this. The population I see with gall stones, requiring biliary stenting and pancreatitis are not using this diet to benefit their metabolic function, they are sitting on the couch playing video games, eating junk and finally having distress when they present.
