When I feel yucky I take a potassium supplement and it hits the spot. Potassium isn't stored in the body which is why there is no daily requirement on the bottle. Magnesium would also be a good idea. Electrolytes are like the spark plugs in a car. They conduct electricity and if they are low there is no spark, no get up and go, or as my dad used to say, no juice. Once I wanted a banana really bad and decided to purchase some potassium supplements instead. That did the trick.
Also your body is addicted to carbohydrates and will have symptoms of withdrawal. I had lingering symptoms of light headedness for atleast a month after induction. However, I didn't think to add the potassium, which may have helped.
