Craving Atkins food!

chilton1 · #1 June 12th, 2009, 05:18 PM

Okay, I totally did not expect this to happen! I've been on Induction for 12 days, and lost 13 pounds. My carb cravings are pretty much gone! For the past two days, I have been craving meat, cheese, and veggies, like never before! The only thing that sounds good to me is a piece of baked chicken or a hamburger with melted cheese on top and some fresh string beans on the side. I never thought that I would feel this way! Has anyone else had this happen? I really thought that I was going to crave carbs forever!

I think the amazing thing is that we ever got 'trained' to prefer foods that are bad for us, instead of the ones that actually make us feel good, sustainably good. So counterintuitive!

Good for you for pushing through to a 'place' where you can really thrive. I know it was tough but you stuck it out.

I know exactly what you mean. I stopped craving potatoes, bread, and pizza and now crave steaks, burgers,avocados, and salads with olive oil and vineger.
