Yup, those french fries can get you sometimes. My advice for transitioning to a low carb diet is to do it slowly day-by-day and reduce your carbohydrate intake by 5-10 grams a day. So if for example you are consuming 200 grams per day right now, reduce it to 190 grams tomorrow, 180 grams the next day, 170 grams the day after that, and so on until you get to your target. This approach will increase the chance that you will actually be successful in the long run because you will not have the same unpleasant cravings as you would have if you go cold turkey.

However, it's not completely true that you have to completely cut out the carbs. Of course, if you are a professional body builder or physique competitor where every little detail matters, then you have to completely cut out the carbs. But in my experience with clients who are not competitors, they have seen great results without doing so. I hope this was helpful!
