I have some REALLY nasty allergies and its that time of the year.

When I have a really bad allergy attack Ive always noticed that I have the serious urge to consume any type of food I can get my hands on. Ive never wondered why but I was wondering if anyone has the same thing happen???? This is making it very hard for me to stay limited on my carbs... my body is telling me to eat eat eat... and I cant satisfy it with anything I have redily available. Obviously I cant stop and cook a steak or eat a steak everytime I have an allergy attack cause they are pretty often.

Another thing is Im trying not to take any medication while Im on Atkins cause I have a bad feeling itll stall me.. but today I HAD to get something to help. I went and bought some Claritin and I hope it doesnt stall me.

The only thing I can think of is since it takes so much energy when you have an allergy attack that my body is immediately trying to compensate for that loss.

Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on this?
