I have been asked what my opinion of low carb/fat diets is. Well any diet is good for a period of time. With the low carb/fat diet I have acouple concerns.One is your levels of leptin* will drop after time. Now when those levels drop your hunger rises and your diet will no longer fulfill you. This more then likely will lead back into bad habits in eating especially in food that are high in fats and sugars! Also many people do complain of lack of energy! Remember carbs is the primary fuel source for your body! If you are certain that you still would like to try this and be on this diet I would say try one or two days have a high carb high calorie meal. This should balance your levels out and recharge your body!
