Am I doing something wrong?

[DRKJPT]

I am on day 7 of the program.  I am a vegetarian. I have experienced more energy and more even energy throughout the day. I have had moderate cravings and crazy iced cream dreams, but I haven't been tired, too hungry, or have headaches - never experienced the "carb flu."  I have been 100% compliant with my food choices and I meal plan.   I purposely stayed away from exercise my first week because I was fearful that I couldn't re-start my work outs and change my eating habits at the same time.  I'm just a little confused why my symptoms seem so mild compared to others.

Maybe you are especially tough!

Well, as a vegetarian I assume you're following the vegetarian plan. If so, I'd guess that's why since your restrictions aren't as drastic as someone going from a SAD to the omnivore plan.

Hi DRKJPT, 

 

Honestly I felt the same worry.  I didn't have any cravings, desire to kill all the things, weird dreams,

carb flu, etc... so I kept looking back at the rules to be sure I was living by them.  I have been 100%

compliant.  ...And I do feel good.  My (pre-Thanksgiving long) sinus infection is gone.  I feel lighter

and less puffy.  I am sleeping better and my energy level is even throughout the day.  I am so

happy to have done this (on day 24 now).  I'm reaping the benefits and they are quite tangible, so

I have stopped questioning why I didn't experience such extreme symptoms.  I'm just thrilled with the

positive outcomes!

I am completing day 7 with no "symptoms" either. Apparently there are a few of us who have immunity!
