I've heard a lot of people talking about "brain fog" at the onset of Atkins... while I will say that I had a little during induction (when I suppose my brain was learning to convert protein to glucose for its fuel to make up for a dip in carbs), but now it is non-existent. In fact, I have... "brain searchlight!"
Yes, "brain searchlight" is something that lets me study all night with only occasional nibble breaks and no caffeine, alert and focused the entire time. Brain searchlight was my best friend last night when I had to learn a complex cytology diagram in one day because of my hard-*** prof. In the past, I would struggle and struggle with diagrams (not a visual learner, completely auditory) and I would have a so-so knowledge with them test day if I really drove it home. Well, not this time! I studied last night and when I woke up this morning I filled in one of my blank practice diagrams with ease from memory!
Anyone else find they actually think BETTER on Atkins??? Because I do! And it's making me wonder... maybe it's because I'm not distracted by hunger while I'm trying to study or something.
