Snoogies's Journal, 14 Sep 18

Finished my 3 day Vegan reboot, actually went almost 4 days. Did have shrimp with my dinner last night. I lost a total of 4 pounds which was a bonus, most likely water. The most beneficial result of this 3 day challenge, was getting back into the habit of having 3 well balanced meals a day! Which is great for maintaining blood glucose levels (recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes). During this period I have also been researching meal plans for diabetics, and the importance of fiber rich carbs. So this morning I will plan out my meals for the next 3 days. Will be mostly vegetarian, I like Vegan but need my fish, seafood, eggs and occasional chicken/turkey. Will try to make wise choices using Glycemic Index, and try to keep net carbs to around 100gm per day. This is much higher than the 20gm I was doing on Keto, but I think this plan may be better for me. I am also going to monitor and document my blood glucose and blood pressure levels. I am still in denial about the diabetes diagnosis, but can't deny that I feel better than I have for the last month or so when I was eating mindlessly. Now, on to the next 3 days! Gotta love summer veggies!

90.7 kg Lost so far: 1.2 kg.    Still to go: 15.9 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
