Default Having dreams about high carb food while in induction

Anyone else have a lot of dreams about eating high carb food while in induction/ketosis? It seems I get out my cravings for high carb food in my dreams lately. Like today I was just at a mcdonalds ordering basically everything on the menu in the dream, lets just say I woke up pretty satisfied.

I did at the beginning, but it ended pretty quickly. I've been at this for seven months now and carb cravings and dreams are long gone. The food I eat now is sooo much more flavorful now, anyway!

Yeppers, I have HIGH CARB dreams a lot! Better to dream about those toxic carbs than to actually eat 'em eh?

Wishing everyone continued success on your journeys to better HEALTH!

Makes me laugh, when I first started this, I would watch foodie shows with beautiful cakes, cupcakes, rolls etc etc. Somehow, looking at it was satisfying enough to me because I didn't go off plan at all doing this. It was exciting to watch the food shows and finally for once in my life have my cravings under control. Even if I can't eat the food I strangely like to look at it.

Not dreams about high carb foods, but about Diet Coke, which affects my blood sugar just like the real stuff. I had those dreams for a couple of months after I gave up the aspartame.

I sometimes have dreams where I start eating something and then realise that it is still my fasting period.

My high carb dreams are like those dreams where you have to go pee, and can't find an appropriate place. Doesn't happen that often.

I find I get more dreams and other evidence of increased REM sleep when I'm eating more ketogenically, so even dreams about eating carbs might be a good symptom to have.
