I'm having a hard time sticking to a low carb plan (which makes me feel great and lose weight) when I go low. Even after adjusting for the fewer carbs in my life, I still go low occaissionally and have to eat a bunch of fast acting (bad) carbs all at once and derailing the ketosis that makes you lose the weight.

Anyone else having this frustration?

What insulin are you on?
You might want to reduce it a bit if u are eating so little carbs to prevent those lows.

You can actually eat carbs and still lose weight. Just watch your caloire intake and keep it below a set limiit. When you lose weight while eating carbs, you still go into ketsosis as your body burns it's fat reserves for energy (losing weight).
