I started a committed Atkins attempt again this week (previous was in 2013). I'm on day 5 or 6, depending on when you start counting.

Feeling great .. lots of energy .. but I work from home and I find I just can't focus .. can't stay seated .. its like I have too much energy and I just want to go out and run around .. I'm all over the place .. even with my ADHD meds ..

But aside from that restlessness .. I'm constantly with that "nibbling" sensation ... where you want something .. don't know what it is .. you're not actually hungry or tired ..

I'm not sure where its coming from ...

-Is that a normal thing that comes with induction?
-Am I eating something that's triggering it?
-Is it my ADHD going bananas
-Is it just normal summer "I want to be outside not in the office" feeling?

where I am not hungry .. I just feel I want to eat. I *think* we're following the acceptable foods list (as posted on this forum) ... I've been eating chicken wings whenever it has been getting too much .. it feels like I may be eating too much though..

So is this normal with induction - am I not getting enough fats?
