I truly realized the effects different foods have on you yesterday. I haven't been eating carbs for about two months. I always sleep 8 hours, do my Thrive and I'm ready to go and start chores and stuff. Well for the holiday I decided to have a spoonful of stuffing, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, just one spoonful of each. I slept 13 hours and still wake up feeling eh... I actually encountered a "carb coma." Yeah, not too fun. And I didn't even eat a lot. Back to broccoli today, and I WANT it. lol
Today is not the day to change but will watch my balance today, protein-for-carb-wise. I think that will help.
have a great day, Merry Christmas!
I've noticed when I've gone overboard with the starchy carbs my weight will be up by 2lbs the next day (I weigh daily). I KNOW I didn't consume 7000 calories and if I've stuck with my plan, there's no way I should have gained 2lbs. I can usually get the water weight off in a couple days by drinking a LOT of water/green tea.
Sometimes it amazes me that I functioned at all before given the way I ate on a daily basis ;-)
Merry Christmas to all...and may we all have a day that doesn't leave us in a food hangover tomorrow ;-)
