May I offer an alternative?
"Glucose is not the preferred fuel of muscle cells under normal human resting metabolic conditions or even under most normal human movement patterns (exercise). Fat is.
The basic underlying FALSE assumption is that glucose is the preferred fuel of most cells; BUT, because we can’t store very much glucose (as glycogen in liver and muscles), we need to provide a continuous source of glucose in the form of exogenous carbohydrate (high carb meals) to keep the brain, blood, and certain organs humming along and the muscles primed for activity. AND, if we don’t feed ourselves enough carbohydrate every few hours, our blood sugar will drop and we’ll go into “starvation mode” and cannibalize our precious muscle tissue"

It should be feeling good, you never made that switch to becoming fat adapted so depleting carbs made you feel like you were dying. The carbs feel like sex to you now, lol.Yeah well theres no need now. I've stocked up on healthy carbs. Beans, oatmeal, brown rice, and fruits
If you ever want to join the keto dark side in the future, do some reading on the protocol so you know what to expect.
I agree with @HoustonHeat you were definitely doing it wrong breh, I've done low carb diets before and I upped my fat intake and meal frequency to offset the lack of carbs. My muscle endurance dropped a little bit as glycogen stores in my muscles were depleted but outright power was still there. I didn't lose a lot of weight, but the body fat was just melting off my body and muscle mass remained.
OP you need to define what you mean by "low carb".
Most people eat way more than 200g of carbs a day. 200 is fairly low carb. 100-150g of carbs is what I got ripped off - that's not crazy low.
Some people consider <100g low carbs - which for me if you are doing more than a couple days a week of - is way too low.

Dude isn't lying. Low Carb is tough but it is beneficial...when you then have some carbs you should fill out nicely. Muscles will feel and look great!
that's the for sure the issue anything less then 40g per day will have you feeling weak and depressed. its not sustainable over a long period of time for me at leastYeah i def wasn't even getting 100g. I literally cut them out
what workouts can i do to only lose fat from my right calf and left arm
Eat less overall
Work out
Wait
Repeat
