By "diet" I mean my new way of eating for good, not the latest thing I'm trying just to see if it works. I really believe in living this way! You hear all this crap in the news about how evil Atkins is, and how your body needs carbs to function... of course it does. But it doesn't need even a fraction of what Americans consume daily. Our bodies should be using carbs and fat for energy, but we're so busy burning the hoards of carbs we consume that our bodies never have an opportunity to use the fat. (And the Atkins diet never suggests no carbs in the first place; in its most minimal phase you should still be having 20 NET carbs, and eventually should be having 75 net carbs or more, eating whole grains regularly.) The only thing that is 'forbidden' for life is white rice and white flour. I can live with that.
Plus, I believe that Jesus saves, and that God's grace is more beautiful than life itself. And after that, I believe that the media is the cancer of the world. Politicians lie under the guise of supporting a cause, but the media lies, under the guise of reporting the truth! Deceit- evil in it's purest earthly form. So I'm not at all surprised that people are led to believe that the Atkins Diet consists of fatty meats, endless amounts of cheese, and lots of butter. Sigh.
*dismounts soap box*
So saturday is my new start. My fridge is filled with fresh vegetables and fruits, poultry, unprocessed cheeses, and eggs. I've thrown out everything that has any traces of thyroid blockers, and I'm good to go. Right now I don't even feel like I'll miss the sugary, carby foods. But perhaps I'll feel differently this time next week :)
