This question probably more for the ladies on the site (men usually get a bit squeeeeemish)

I've been almost 3 weeks on Induction on Atkins and went thru Hallowe'en with no problem at all...feeling really good too!
The last couple of days I've been craving carbs - anything sugar,chocolate, and even milk...but I kept it away. Now today my period is upon me and flowing hard and crampy - that has not been usual for me in the last 6 moths or so (I'm 45). Unfortunatly, I didn't get rid of my left over Oh Henry mini bars yet and I've had a bunch of them today - like a crazy person that couldn't stop.
first question is - does the low carb have an effect [or is it affect - I never get that right] on your menstural cycle?
next question is - how do other women work with the time'o month cravings?
last question is - What have I done now to my body by having the mini bars [about 15 of them], and have I ruined the Induction now...I mean in the way that the Ketosis works? How long till I'll be back in the swing of Ketotis?

God...I hate myself!!!
