Hit enter and my entry disappeared. Too tired to rewrite it today.
Entry#2
As I said in my first entry I have been off track since I got sick a few weeks ago. The only thing I could keep down was crackers, applesauce, tea, and gingerale. I saw an episode of Dr Oz where Chris Powell talked about Carb Cycling. It's where you alternate high carb days with no carb days for six days and then on the 7th day you can have a cheat day where you eat anything you want. He showed some women who lost a lot of weight on the program. Since then I researched it a little mainly to see what health benefits it provides other than weight loss. There were a few but Atkins gave more detailed research as to what internal physical changes to expect on the diet. I think Carb Cycling is good as an alternative when I may need a carb break but until there is more research I'll stick ti Atkins for over all health. My own results over time convinvce me that it's the right thing to do. Also I want to begin monitoring my blood pressure again. I need to get a new monitor because my old one is giving me dangerously low readings. I had it checked by the manufacturer who said it was fine but it's gone back to giving me faulty readings. I don't think that after using it correctly for almost a year that I'm suddenly not doing it right. I'm going to get back on track with my eating also but until then I will continue to monitor/ record my food and exercise everyday.
