So, I gave up the ciggies and piled on the lbs. Hmmm, I've never been this heavy before. I've always been slim and active. I'm giving this Atkins diet a go. One of my family did it last year and the weight just fell off him.
I started yesterday and woke up hungry but enthusiastic. It's true that we humans have developed this idea that we should never feel hunger. No other animal on the planet behaves like that. "A lion doesn't grab a chipmonk to see him over to the next antelope."
I am also an insulin dependant diabetic so adjustments are having to be made there. I will be recording my insulin intake along with my dietary info. My doctor is with me on all this so no unnecessary risks are being taken. I would highly recommend that any diabetic wanting to severely reduce carbs should consult closely with their health care team. Of course, since I inject insulin into my belly area I am going to be confronted with my belly fat four times a day anyway so I will be watching that with interest.
Ok, on with the show!
B Stir fry veg and tuna. 6g + 11 units insulin (down from 22)
S ( If needed ) slice of cheese.
L Chicken salad 4g + 11 units insulin.
I will add as the day goes on. Any comments/tips will be welcomed.
