Default Awful mood on induction ... Is this common?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here, although I've been reading everyone else's posts and find them really helpful, so thank you, everyone!

I'm on day seven of Induction, Atkins-style. I've been very strict; total carbs definitely less than 20g a day. Tons of water. While I'm thrilled with the weight-loss results -- and the fact that I'm not hungry! -- I'm really worried about the havoc this WOE seems to be playing with my mood. I'm incredibly irritable, lethargic, depressed, and having trouble concentrating -- I feel like I'm having the worst case of PMS in history. I understand this can often occurs in the first few days, but I was hoping by day seven I'd be experiencing the fabled breakthrough, and feeling just the opposite. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any tips? Should I stick it out? Add more carbs? Help me before I strangle some random stranger on the street!

Thank you!

SelenaK
