Keytones?
Yes - tested positive for Light to Moderate this morning and tonight. :-)
Weight:
Is down by 3 lbs since I started this diet.
Blood sugars have been:
Breakfast: 114
Lunch: 139
Dinner: 137
Food:
- Breakfast was my favorite sweet and savory omelette again, along with coffee (with ghee and coconut oil -- this made me feel a little ill today).
- Lunch was (what I could find from a quick run over to Trader Joe's because I didn't have time to pack one today) Miso ginger soup, baby spinach and greens, bleu cheese, candied pecans, and cranberries with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing (which I only used half of to keep the carbs down).
Now for the thoughts and feelings about this....
What I am feeling in one word: calm.
Here's some elaboration on that. I am surprisingly not craving carbs like I used to. My mind is not crazy with this constant need for fuel. It has been a very calming feeling for me. Very zen-like. My mind and body seem to steadily have the nutrition/fuel they need throughout the day. I am not always thinking about my next snack or next meal because I feel full, satisfied, and nourished. Even on the 40 carbs per meal plan I was doing, I constantly felt the need to eat (carbs) for energy. It was weirdly kind of stressful.
On this plan, the main thing that stresses me out is what my doctor said to be careful about: limit animal products. Because apparently when you eat higher on the food chain you are exposed to more toxins that get stored in fat cells. So I have been trying very hard to make about 75% of my diet vegetables and only 25% meat/eggs/dairy.
