experimented with diet this week..
I have low carb/spiked since dx and have boosted exercise and reduced meds.
So I figured I would give a diet change a try...lower calorie so that wouldn’t
be a factor and kept up my exercise intensity..only change was what I ate.
the sort of changes I tried was one slice of whole grain bread..7 carb with
butter and eggs for breakfast....
a fourth of a banana in my protein shakes and rice cake or a cup popcorn for
a snack.
all "healthy diet" choices.
I just wanted to see if food choices that weren't over the top in carbs or
calories would be doable for me at all
well it was a total flop..my bg slowly crept up and up and at max was 165 at
which point I stopped.
the thing is unlike other times I've strayed like the work xmas party where
I treated myself to a roll etc with dinner...I FEEL those rises and falls
keenly..this was a creeping rise I had zero feel of and only knew through
testing which I found interesting.
so for ME..it just isn't possible to eat those foods sadly..I'm glad for
others who can but I cant and I gave it a fair try..trust me I wanted it to
work..but when a 35 calorie plain rice cake with 7 carb spikes you to
165..it’s a sign...lol
ahh well was just a week and I am back to the way of eating I know keeps me
off the meds and in a good range..and in a range I can feel if something's
amiss..
