Low Carb Way Of Life

2009-06-27T22:23:00.000-07:00

Trying to get back in the swing of things. I have started eating right and actually enjoy low carb food so much better than anything else. I dont wake up first thing in the morning hungry anymore.( of course I still need my coffee)

"Stop eating to please others. Ever feel pressured to eat something you’d rather not in order to avoid disappointing someone? Take back your right to say no: Ask yourself, “Is it reasonable for them to have such a strong reaction if I don’t eat? Isn’t my goal of losing weight legitimate?”"

I havent posted in a long tome my father who I dearly loved passed away June 6. I have not been able to stick to a very good eating plan since.

2009-05-18T20:53:00.000-07:00

On the run all day today had farm fresh eggs and nitrate free bacon for breakfast.
Then I drove to see my dad in the hospital. I stopped by Culvers had a deluxe w/o the bun.
I guess if we stay busy we eat less that is good!!

2009-05-17T23:16:00.000-07:00

My stress level is up due to family being very ill but I still stay on track. I had three great pork chops today with brussel sprouts. Yesterday while visiting at the hospital I was so hungry I ate peanuts out of the vending machine. yuk!

2009-05-03T23:50:00.000-07:00

I ate a little more than I wanted today but I got way more walking in today than usual. My faience is in the hospital with cellulites. I ate mostly meat and eggs today some tomatoes.

Buffet

2009-05-02T17:39:00.000-07:00

Got to visit my son we went to Golden Coral it an all you can eat buffet. I usually try an avoid them. But I found quite a bit of low carb food Brussels sprouts and baked chicken etc.
I found it interesting they had huge bottles of hand sanitizer there all over the place. This is cool I think buffets should have done that years ago not just when there is a flu scare.

Weight 400

2009-04-30T22:22:00.000-07:00

I switched my beverage consumption to stevia flavored water with true lemon. I am trying to give up the others. I am down to 400 really bugs me but I am close.
Today I had KFC grilled chicken kind of bland. The dark meat is way better than the white and I am usually a white meat chicken person. From now on I will just buy a rotisserie chicken from the store!

Insulin

2009-04-28T23:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I made a mistake and took fast acting insulin and my blood sugar was already normal. I saw my blood sugar drop from 110 to 67 so fast I knew something was haywire.
I ate cherries in the can. they were so sweet it was hard to eat not having many carbs in the house what could I do. well needless to say that wont happen again. I am using seprate containers for each vial.

Eggs

2009-04-27T20:40:00.000-07:00

My sister in law lives on a farm and cant give us enough farm eggs. I have noticed they are so much more yellow than store eggs.
I think my blood pressure meds need to be lowered been getting symptoms of low blood pressure.
Had eggs,celery,tomatoes,beef,onions. Most of the day then had ground pork.

Live Long And Prosper On A Low Carb Diet

2009-01-08T07:26:00.000-08:00

Low-carbohydrate diets may eventually prove themselves to have life-extending properties. In animal research, the only consistent intervention that produces increases in life span is calorie-restriction. Whether the same applies to humans has not yet been established, but we do know that cutting calorie intake often produces marked improvements in important health parameters, such as blood glucose control. Unfortunately, telling people to voluntarily limit their calorie intake on a long-term basis tends to be a very poorly-received piece of advice. Low carbohydrate diets, however, may render such unpopular admonitions redundant. Dietary intervention studies have revealed a rather unique phenomenon; subjects following low carbohydrate diets, despite being told to limit only carbohydrate intake and to eat unrestricted amounts of protein and fat, often inadvertently reduce their total calorie intake to levels similar to those seen in subjects who have been explicitly instructed to lower their total calorie intake.

Pretty good couple of days on this new system I feel it very easy to stay away from foods not on the list. I can feel more in control limiting myself to only a certain set of foods. This just may be the thing I have been looking for.

Breakfast was unusual today I woke up with low blood sugar and needed something quick. The mini wheat's I would never have usually. Then I had to run out to the bank and needed to grab something at McDonald's. I don't like egg MC muffins they use liquid margarine. So I used up more carbs than I wanted.
My carb total was 42 by 5 pm no more carbs allowed for today.
