No, you're not insane. Carb addiction is a HUGE addiction to kick. It's your brain telling you to do it because it's wondering where the the constant flush of seratonin and beta-endorphin that carb eating creates is.

One thing you can do is take l-glutamine powder, 1 tsp. mixed with water about 1/2 hour before each meal to reduce the cravings. Another thing is to do something pleasureable and absorbing whenever the cravings hit or if you're eating out of boredom. If you find it worse during certain times of day, try to mix up your routine to give your brain something else to deal with.

It would probably do you good to up your carbs in the form of vegetables and eat smaller, balanced meals more frequently. Induction is over.

Lastly, cold turkey is the only way to get over it. Not pretty, but it's true.
