I’d put this under a read more but Tumblr keeps changing how that works and I don’t even know on mobile anymore so…Meh. Content warning for food, diet, and medical stuff talk I guess?

>_>

Eating low carb again and honestly I might have to start counting calories. Not because I’m still eating too much! But I’m pretty sure I ran so low yesterday and the day before that I woke up kinda faint and shaky today.

Whoops.

This is hard. I’m actively trying to lose weight more slowly than last time because last time I felt nasty from dropping 30 pounds in about 45 days (don’t do that! It’s way too fast!! 5 lbs/week is like, the minimum and even then you’d probably do better to go slower) but I just don’t have an appetite worth shit on this particular diet so it’s hard to remember to even put thing in face, usually my body will at least make its needs very obvious after a few hours but nope, the moment I cut it carbs it just goes “nothing is food anymore, guess I’ll just die.” Unhelpful, body! Why. Please tell me when you want to eat, preferably before the part where I actually feel ill.

Also if I don’t eat enough carbs at all I go into full on rage Hulk smash mode and that’s bad for everyone’s mental health so I’ve intentionally been adding at minimum a half a piece of toast or similar to breakfast and that’s made an enormous difference in my energy levels and levelheadedness. Brains need fuel, y'all.

On the plus side my A1c is back to normal and I’m no longer in the prediabetic range, whoo. Which means I can stop struggling to get along with nearly as much metformin. Over 1000mg/day gets…uncomfortable, let’s put it that way. (Hahaha it’s so terrible)

I accidentally an entire way to make a single serving of unsweetened ice cream though, that’s pretty cool.
