Days 5 to 14 – Reward Time!

By the end of the first week of your new eating plan, you should start to reap the rewards of low-carb eating. This is the stage where many people begin to experience increased energy, better mental concentration, less compulsive eating, and few or no carb cravings. Some experience it as a “fog lifting” that they didn’t even know was there. Of course, everyone’s experience is variable, and it takes longer with some than others. But if you are someone who is sensitive to carbs, you will probably experience a lot of benefits of this way of eating, and it usually begins around the end of the first week. Congratulate yourself for taking the first steps of a positive change!
