Day 2 - Low-carb diet series
February 29th, 2008 | by John |My second day was a bit more of a success with the consumption of food, however, my mental state is a bit run down. I believe this is due to the effects of sugar/carb withdrawl. I woke up groggy and stressed and throughout the day I had this strange feeling of being overwhelmed, stressed out and depressed. This is a perfectly normal sensation that one might feel if they decide to quit something like this. Much like quitting cigarettes or drugs, you go through a similar withdrawl when you decide to go cold turkey and remove your carb intake.
Aside from the withdrawal side effects everything seems to be going as planned. I went the whole day only eating a few carbs from a small cup of lettuce. Breakfast consisted of steak, poached eggs, and sugar free pudding. For lunch I had about 2 cups of chilie with a full cup of creme and half cup of lettuce, and for dinner I finished off the rest of the steak from the morning along with some spare ribs and a huge block of Monterey jack cheese. In my opinion it was a very successful day.
I also went to the gym for a light exercise routine as well. It consisted of a brisk walk and quick leg workout and back home, all and all it was about 30 minutes.
I know I promised pictures yesterday but this is being posted from work and the pictures are at home. Dont worry though i have been taking them every day at the same time of the day. With the pictures I will also post up my stats and goals for this experiment.

Yeah, but never the less, I think this post is debatable.

Risky theme. I think you’ve hurt someone’s feelings, but what’s for me - I like it. No matter what they say if your opinion

What was the interesting thing? Oh! That. Yeah. I should have guessed. This post is good, but not good enough.
