is it normal to feel like this on the first day?

Yes its carb withdrawal, once in Ketosis you will feel much better, give it about 2 - 3 days and you energy levels will rise again when the body starts using that lovely sugary substance you have acquired over the years

the mental cravings go when you begin to work out why you want food in the first place, start creating other ways of dealing with whatever it is that is making you comfort eat, and generally just begin to take control over what you think and feel instead of just being 'along for the ride'.
For example, I know that boredom is my main trigger, so now when I start feeling bored, I know that eating is not the answer to the boredom having spent the last 17 weeks finding other ways to cope besides eating, and now instead I make a mental effort to find something proactive to do, wether it is work, one of my hobbies of even just taking a walk.
LL abstinance will lose the weight, but the mental changes can only come from you at the end of the day

Well Ive got a guitar crying out for some attention and a book to finish, so I best get my rear
end into gear lol.... but seriously your right we do have to take control for our own actions.. Im on day two now..
