I hate it when people tell me: “Oh, but you need carbohydrates to run your system.”
I tell them: “I have anabolism/catabolism...If I need any damn carbs, I’ll make them myself.”
Look around...all carbs do is make you fat.
I’ve also noticed with a gamy shoulder that you don’t realize hom much joint issues benefit from no-carb until you break the diet, as I found when I inadvertently put sugar in my iced coffee at a convenience store; didn’t even realize it til I was down the road, and I needed to hydrate badly.
I don’t dance around with “lo”, I just go “no” or rather The Ancestors want me to go totally “no”. I had no intention of going on a diet, after my religious experience the choice was kinda pushed on me. Not complaining, the excess Goodyear is melting like Frosty the Snowman.
“They” also took something else away I liked, and gave me something else back I liked ;) And my personality changed, good or bad, when I enter a building or a room, “I have arrived.” LOL! And before, my goal was to be invisible.
One thing that I’m a little unsure about, I’ve needed seven hours of sleep, give or take, as long as I can remember. The last few months that has dropped to about two. I relax and get ready for sleep, but end up reading and getting online most of the night.
My shoulder several months ago got so painful I was becoming a one armed man and I could tell I was losing muscle mass. It contributed to a general misery that made me angry about unanswered prayer and I appealed to Whoever kept my ancestors alive. Within a couple weeks my shoulder went from 40% use to 90% use; I still feel shifty in there; I don’t like the surgical options. The muscle is back, but between exercise and massive protein intake, I’m not surprised. Just had nine eggs for breakfast, a short 2mi run to the store, I’ll walk back with lunch :)
Once I finish my coffee; I’m glad THAT was left alone...
