Since watching calories/cutting slightly back on carbs wasn't making a difference, decided drastic dietary changes were in order/began in earnest yesterday. Wound up sleeping 16 hours, woke early this morning to leg cramps and worst headache I've had since brain surgery. From what I've read sleep only prolongs these symptoms. It's advised to resist urge to go back to bed so to help stay awake drank coffee, to combat cramping had bouillon. Surprisingly it did help. Fortunately I've been slowly working up to this change or no telling how wanting to rip fistfuls of my hair out and scream this induction phase would be making me. Don't understand why I'm so tired despite reducing carbs. Usually if I eat a lot of carbs it knocks me right out. Anyhow I'm envying Monte right now. He got to stay up late, party unchecked most of the night, play outside all full of energy this morning, overeat, zonk out and sleep all afternoon – he's still asleep. Well maybe some more coffee and dinner a bit earlier than usual. Seems this change is turning me into a real whiner – I hate that, I don't much like, care for people who whine a lot and it now it seems I'm turning into one.
