I heart carbs

I had Hot and Sour Soup yesterday. 

It was good during our 32 degree Sping day! 

I added some steamed veggies. 

So much of the world depends on carbs. 

Clean grains - without much modification. 

Sadly, I think American grain is different 

From what many people are use to 

When they come here from other countries. 

Many many countries have diets 

That are grain based. 

I don’t do well with yeast type grains. 

I do better with unleavened breads. 

But they are still grains. 

Still starches. 

Now that my glucometer readings

Are normal again, there is still insulin.

I think insulin is more of a bully- than glucose. 

So my little Carb fest-

Now officially over- 

Gave me much bigger muscles 

And smoother hair and skin. 

No doubt back to hydration status. 

Every gram of carboHYDRATE 

Has like 4 grams of water with it. 

That’s why you gain or lose water

The first few days on Atkins. 

So to summarize. 

Low Carb is a medical grade diet. 

It works. But you have to be smart. 

Are grains bad? 

Are sugars bad? 

Yes and yes. 

I’m not sure there is a moderate stance 

on grain consumption. 

In other news, I am going to try 

A week of walking twice a day. 

Are two short walks better than

One long walk? 

Might be good to keep the 

Exercise “spikes” going all day. 

Plus I don’t have the stamina 

YET

For long hikes and walks. 

So I ordered a $20 pedometer

Simple and easy- 

Like the one I had so many years ago. 

Because I don’t always walk with my phone.

And I don’t wear a watch at work. 

Onward and downward!
