I'm getting slacker and slacker about keeping track of my food. I guess I'm not seeing the point of it much. It will be much more important when I stop losing weight. I'll be able to figure out where I can cut carbs and keep the weight loss going.
Another consideration, is how will my diet changes affect my cholesterol and blood pressure? I am hoping that I won't need to keep taking the blood pressure and cholesterol meds.
I'm happy to continue on with my diabetes meds though, metformin, and maybe piaglitazone though. At least for metformin, I know that some people consider it an anti-cancer drug. Gary Taubes said that one dude takes it prophylactically.
WHAT I ATE TODAY
2 egg omelet
butter
cheddar cheese, grated, plus one chunk for munching
green onion
tomato
dill cream cheese
butter
pepper
2 cups coffee
1/2 pepperoni stick
water
Ryvita
dill cream cheese
green tea
6:40 pm
romaine lettuce
mozzarella cheese - shredded plus one chunk for munching
1 slice bacon
Caesar dressing
8:45 pm
beef and veggie curry
greek yogurt
lite spinach cream cheese - I looked for regular, but they didn't have any and I wanted to try this flavour. It's ok. I think I like the red pepper, salmon, or herb and garlic better though. And plain is always tasty.
sunflower seeds, dill and bbq flavour
strawberry jello
with whipping cream
I found the sugar free jello too sweet, so I added some plain gelatin and a cup more water The flavour isn't as strong, more mellow to my tongue, and I just made 50 % more jello!
1/2 an orange
bite of pepperoni
2 ham slices
1 processed cheese slice
BLOOD GLUCOSE
