I'm 5 days into Induction and it's going great so far. This is the first time I've ever tried Atkins. I haven't really had a "crash" to speak of, and I'm happy to be free of cravings. However there is one thing I find kind of odd.

I'm really not too hungry most of the time but I'm eating lots anyway. But every evening after I'm done eating a substantial dinner (and am done eating for the day), about 30-45 minutes later I get very, very hungry. Not "I've got the munchies" hungry but "my stomach is growling and I have hunger pangs" hungry. I usually go eat something like a slice of turkey which helps temporarily, but it often comes back a few minutes later...sometimes multiple repetitions of this. And yes, I'm eating plenty of fat with my dinner.

I find this very strange and haven't experienced this before going onto Atkins. I usually am not an evening snacker and don't normally eat anything after dinner around 7 p.m. I'm not very hungry other times of day, or after eating my breakfast or my lunch, not even before dinner, only after eating dinner. I also wake up feeling pretty hungry. To repeat, I'm eating lots of calories (logging in Fitday), and plenty of fat (60-65% of calories) so I don't think that's an issue.

Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience or if there are any theories about what's going on, or if I should change something I'm doing. Or maybe just don't worry about it. Thanks!
