I spent a year on the induction phase of the Atkins diet... became intimately familiar with all the low-to-no carb tricks of the trade a few months in, and then started having "nightmares" about food. I'd dream that I was eating something and didn't realize it was high in carbs until I'd eaten the whole thing, or I would dream that I'd "forgotten" I was on a diet, and ate a whole batch of Cookies, then as I'm swallowing the last one I'd finally "remember" I was supposed to be avoiding carbs. In my dreams it was never just, "Oh crap, I forgot" -- it was a horrible thing, like "Now I've just blown everything!" I know that a lot of it came from obsessing over what I ate, how many carbs it had, picking every little carrot shred out of my dinner salad, etc. When I shared this with a message board I was on at the time, I was surprised to see that LOTS of people were dreaming the exact same kinds of things.
Lastnight I had a LB nightmare. I dreamed that I chugged a can of Diet Coke, because I forgot I couldn't have it, then started to cringe as I waited for the pain to come... you know like when you stub your toe and you have just enough time to think, "Crap, this is really going to hurt..." before the pain actually kicks in? Then I woke up.
I know I'm not the only one...
