hmmm...well I made it 2.75 days and then it was over. Ah yes, the low carb lifestyle is great in theroy until the cravings, light headedness, headaches and this time my legs felt heavy. really really heavy. I felt like they were numb at times. I had my carbs down to 10 grams for almost three days and fell off hard. here let me recap:
I was doing great, I had just finished off another egg salad and almost got through my gallon of water and then....it ended and I ate
2 huge chocolate cookies
1 bean burrito
5 handful of tortilla chips
10 gummy bears
5 hersey kisses
4 tablespoons of jiffy peanut butter
1/2 peanut butter and jelly sandwich
yeah, that didn't go very well and it ends up like this every time I attempt this. This would be my 17th restart over 2 years (none lasting longer than 5 days). looking at the basic math of this little experiment my conclusion is that this doesn't work at all (for me) I'm off to work on something more sensible and sustainable. I'll keep this blog up with my nutrition journey. But for now, I am no longer going back to low carb. at least not in that form. Looking at the things I devoured above I'd say I'm in far worse shape than before I started.
