The more the merrier!
I really understand the seriousness of this. My infection has cleared up, but one toe on each foot is definitely numb, so peripheral neuropathy is starting to set in. I think I'll fail the pin test this time.
Day three is usually where I quit. It was encouraging to see that I'm down to 204, although I realize it was probably water weight loss. But depression and anxiety are skyrocketing, and I'm having day three doubts that a low carb life is really worth living.
Still, I was reasonably good. Dinner included brown rice chinese food, and I'm not sure if the brown rice was really really brown rice, so I might have slipped. And I cheated a little earlier in the day when I got really shaky. I've been working around the house and more active than I usually am.
I guess the next stage is spitting nails, but I haven't gotten there yet, perhaps because of yesterday's minor cheating.
I found my old sugarbusters books, so I guess I'll look for some recipes.
