After weeks 3-4 brought an energy change but nothing on the craving front, weeks 5-6 is where the second category finally showed up.
Continued steady energy, nothing new to report there. Then around day 33, I noticed I'd walked past the office candy bowl three days in a row without really thinking about it — which is not normal for me, historically.
The craving thing kept holding, with one clear exception — a genuinely stressful workday where I absolutely still wanted sugar and had some. So this isn't some magic appetite switch. It's more like the baseline pull got quieter, not eliminated.
Started noticing I was naturally eating slightly smaller portions at dinner without deciding to. Can't fully separate this from the craving change or attribute it definitively to the supplement versus just being a few weeks into paying closer attention to my eating in general — worth being honest about that ambiguity.
Once you start tracking something daily for a review, you inevitably become more mindful of it — which could itself change behavior separately from anything the supplement is doing. I can't fully rule that out as a factor in the craving and portion changes I'm describing. I think the effect is real based on how it felt day to day, but a single self-tracked diary isn't a controlled study, and I want to be upfront about that limitation rather than pretend this is more rigorous than it is.
Two out of four categories (energy, cravings) showing real change. Weight: no noticeable movement yet. Hormone-related stuff (I don't track a formal symptom log, but generally): nothing I'd confidently attribute to it yet either.
This was the hardest stretch to stay consistent through — read the next entry.
