Illness causes cravings?
I've been on Atkins for the past 2 1/2 months, so far doing well, no cheating and almost no cravings. Then, this weekend, I caught a cold. Fever, congestion, the works. At first I didn't want to eat anything, so I just tried to keep hydrated. Then when the fever broke I started getting serious cravings: Apple Pie, Macaroni & Cheese. Ice cream. Comfort food.
luckily I didn't give in to any of these cravings but it was really unnerving. I allowed myself a few slices of low carb bread with cream cheese, that seemed to help.
Today the cold is almost gone, and I think the cravings are under control.
Anyone else have this experience?
