Forgetfulness

[jmprgrl74]

One other question - does anyone else feel like they are more absentminded doing Atkins, or maybe just during the induction phase? I'm a little freaked out at how much I've been forgetting lately, which is not like me!

Re: Forgetfulness

I don't think it is caused by the food you are eating, My thoughts are that i am so concentrating on this WOE that i push everything else on the back burner and forget.

I am not a pro or anything, this is just my opinion.

Re: Forgetfulness

jmprgrl, I started on 3/5 as well and I would say that I'm feeling the opposite of what you're saying. If anything, I'm feeling more mentally sharp and aware.

I'm forgetful by nature, so I would say leaving my apartment yesterday unsure of whether I locked the door or not would be normal for me, Induction or not.

Re: Forgetfulness

I agree, my mental fog cleared up when I began Atkins. Now if I forget something, it's because I'm going 100mph and doing too many things. (lots of energy )

It could just be that your body is "out of sorts" and getting used to the fact that it won't be running on carbs for fuel. Usually you'll get a burst of energy after an initial "flu" period. Other members have reported feeling tired on induction but regained a lot of energy when they moved to OWL rung 1.

I'm with them, I think I'm better with my memory since getting into this WoL.
