I have been having a generally all over achy feeling lately and it does seem to be in my muscles more than in my joints. I've taken a break from exercise for the past 4 days and I am a bit less achy but still having a bit of difficulty getting a good nights sleep. I have been reading and some of these symptoms may be from the low carb diet. Also, my BG has been averaging around 120 now and about 2-3 weeks ago I was down to averaging 109. Trying to figure out what is going on.

i have read that restricting carbs forces your body to rob glucose from your muscles - could that be causing me to be achy? Also, I read that the low carb diet can cause lower serotonin and result in sleeplessness.

Clearly, the benefits are outweighing the negatives here, but I'm just wondering of others have dealt with these issues and found any ways of mitigating them. I'm still doing some reading. Any thoughts on Melatonin?
