Thanks. I thought about that. But isn't 6 weeks a little too far in to be having these problems? I tried fighting it before, but it goes on for a week and seems like it will not end untill I eat sugar. The blah feeling lasts 24/7, it's not like a headache that comes and goes. =(

As for my Aunt, she knows I'm dieting. But I live at home and they have their little visits and can eat that stuff. So I can't just tell her not to bring it over. I have willpower, like I said, I don't have the mental or physical cravings..which I guess is quite odd compared to other experiences I've read. If I'm at the point in lowcarbing where I'm doing good; I don't care what's in the house. It's only when I feel like this.

I'm not sure what a Vitamian B complex is but I'll try it. I am getting enough B6 and 12 in my multivitamian, what would be the difference?

is it possible that it is in relationship to your T.O.M.? I get super hungry during that period right before.

Over-all I have noticed that I have lost that initial zip that got me so excited in the beginning.. but you know I am not as bad off (energy wise) as I was when I was eating """normally""". I just started to drink a cup of coffee, or sometimes a sugar free energy drink! Yay rockstars!

This was my initial reaction to your plight as well. Chart your moods versus your cycle and see if there is a correlation.
