Forgive me for being a little impatient, as this is only my 8th day on Induction, but isn't this WOE supposed to improve your energy levels, enable you to focus better, etc.?

I have always had "afternoon blahs" (tired, unmotivated, and craving cookies) and I was hoping LC would make them go away. So far there have been good days and bad days, but today (!) . . . today it's like it was when I was pregnant. (For those of you who may not know, "pregnant brain" causes things like forgetting what you're saying mid-sentence, getting up from your desk to do something only to forget what it is once you cross your office door, etc.)

So not only am I tired and craving sweets, I can't stay on task or remember anything!!! I was fine this morning. What I've had to eat today is in my journal if you'd like to check it. (Yesterday Angela suggested that I eat more veggies and I will as soon as I buy some.) Around 2:30 I took a quick walk around the block and ate a little protein snack in an attempt to snap out of it, but that didn't really help. I've hardly had any carb cravings on this WOE until today. Right now I want a big pink cookie and a nap.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I had a pretty easy first few days of Induction. I did not experience the withdrawl symptoms the book (and everyone else) said I would. I would really appreciate some advice/perspective on this problem from you all.

Thanks,

Yes, I Seem To Get It A Lot Lately, But I Haven't Asked About It, So I Can't Tell You If Its Normal. I Didn't Crave A Whole Lot The First Few Weeks, But They Seem To Get Worse. I Think I Just Want Those Cookies Now Because I Know I Can't Have Them, Not Really A Craving.
