Default Dark Undereye Circles?

Has anyone experienced dark circles under their eyes when lc'ing? I have noticed them for at least a week now, dh actually noticed them now too which surprised me and means they are dark!

This is my first time on Atkins - a little over a month into it. I have and have read the majority of DANDR - will read other parts as I move to other levels. I take a mult vit w/out iron daily, plus added a cal mag zinc supplement to help with leg/foot cramping. I followed induction to a t - lost 14 lbs! I have fluctuated a bit since then, but have basically maintained my weight loss and no more. I felt crappy during the start of induction and at points when I was not getting in enough carbs. But, lately I've been feeling pretty good and feeling like I'm losing inches - enough to keep me going with this WOE. I am in keotsis right now according to my random morning test stripping and the way I feel.

I am still frequently getting muscle "crampy" feelings in legs, etc. - not severe anymore but if I stretch it is especially true. Today, my mid-back totally froze up and now hurts - I was carrying about 14 or so lbs - this has never been a problem for me in my life! Just finished my TOM, all was fine - a bit heavier and crampier but nothing I cannot handle. HELP - the eye circles have me worried and add the back muscle thing today... I don't want to stop lc'ing - but I am getting worried. I do journal - I pretty much eat when I am hungry throughout the day - I try to get to 20 carbs a day - sometimes I don't... I do a good job with the water most days unless I get really busy at work... UGH.

Sorry, long post!
