What if my carb count dips for a few days...

[DesertRain]

I'm just wondering,
you know how when you eat below a certain amount of calories and you're losing weight and then you increase them, and you start gaining weight...
Does the same apply for carbs?
Okay, example: (hypothetical)
My carb count has been 60 g (let's say that's my CCL) for several months but then I get sick and I loose my appetite and I can only get in 15-20 g for a week. Then I get better and I go back to 60 g, will my fat metabolism be slowed because of the dip then sudden increase. Or will I still continue to lose because I am maintaining my CCL, regardless of the drastic drop?
It doesn't say anything about it in the book so I'm just wondering if anyone knows from experience or from research.
Thanks for taking the time to read yet another Jane question....

My personal experience has been that my body actually functions better when I fluctuate my carb and calorie intake.....keeps it on its toes, so to speak

If your CCLL turns out to be that high then you should be fine. A lot of people don't get that lucky. I am one of them. Even with all my exercise I have a CCLL of around 45 (at least it was there last time) so I keep around 40 when I get to those rungs. As long as you stay below the CCLL you shouldn't have a problem and like Chicklady said it will even help keep your body guessing and may help.

I could only hope that I can have mine that high....I highly doubt it, hence, "hypothetical" LOL. It's just that the other day I was having an anxiety attack and thought for sure I wasn't going to be able to eat my intended carb amount (or anything at all) and was worried that it would be my 2 steps back after my huge step forward.
