Reducing carbs makes your kidneys excrete more salt and, consequently more water, which is why you end up pissing more.
I had poor sleep when eating LCHF and I thought it was to do with your body missing the insulin drop from carbs in the evening, so the trigger for sleep is missed/reduced. It goes away after your body adjusts but I found it really annoying.

I’m doing 16:8 and only eating carbs in 2 out of three meals. I’m not drinking until the pubs open or eating bread until I’ve got a stone off.
I’ve been doing fasted turbo rides 4-5 times a week.
So far I’ve lost 7lbs in just over two weeks which is pretty pleasing. I’ve got loads of energy but I’m actually sleeping really badly. There’s something about shedding weight that makes me need to piss loads, including at night. I’ll take it as a trade off.
