What are the metabolic consequences of transitioning from a high-carb to a low-carb diet, and how can they be managed?

Transitioning from a high-carb to a low-carb diet can lead to metabolic consequences such as decreased glycogen stores, initial fatigue, and changes in energy metabolism as the body adapts to using fat as a primary fuel source. These effects can be managed by gradually reducing carbohydrate intake to allow for metabolic adaptation, ensuring adequate electrolyte and fluid intake, and consuming sufficient protein and healthy fats to support energy levels and muscle maintenance during the transition.
