Not craving carbs, but sick of meat and eggs | | Today is day 21 of Atkins for me, and I'm pleasantly surprised about how easy it's been to stay away from carbs. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I can stomach eating the Atkins staple foods in these quantities for much longer...
Since yesterday afternoon (I had a pork steak for supper) I've felt a weird sensation every time I so much as think about eating meat. I have $400+ of organic grass-fed beef in my freezer (delivered yesterday) and I don't feel like touching any of it right now. I don't know how to describe the feeling exactly, but I learned to trust my body when it was telling me *enough* of a certain type of food.
I made scrambled eggs for breakfast and had to force myself to finish them. This despite being noticeably hungry. Although I've had eggs pretty much every day for breakfast for three weeks, this wasn't so much boredom as just the feeling that what I was eating wasn't what my body needed/wanted. That's the best I can describe it.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? it's got me worried, as obviously Atkins without meat and eggs would be a bit of a stretch.
Edited to add: I'm eating as many vegetables as I can squeeze into 25 carbs, plus I'm taking a multivitamin. These would be the first questions I would ask myself based on the initial post.
