doh! All three.
Ravenous hunger that can't be ignored = check.
Constant cravings for sugars/carbs = check, check!
Slower metabolism despite exercise = maybe?
Water retention = check
Insulin resistance = dunno
well, dang.
I'm really glad you asked me that question, easyrhino - I'm totally smacking my head for not thinking of that myself. I thought I knew the side effects (trembling hands, hair loss, stomach upset) but there was a lot out there I didn't know and a lot of pieces of the puzzle are falling into place for me.
Okay, I guess for now I'll stick to what I've been doing - NROLFW plus some extra walking, 40/30/30 ratio, 2100 cals, eat 8 times a day, drink lotsa water, watch my salt & potassium.
