Good for you.
Well, your body needs carbs to perform. You can replace the bad carbs with legumes. i.e. beans = pinto, black beans etc. Eaten 2-3 times a day. Legumes are considered a power food. Your body digests these carbs/protein differently. You will not get a spike in your glycemic but the legumes will give you will have energy.
Another thing to consider is staying away corn syrup. It is in everything including a lot of domestic beer.
Breads that have processed or enriched flour which is even worse.
Sugar is a pure muscle weakener. A potato every so often is not bad for you.
It doesn’t actually NEED carbs to perform. You can reduce your carbs low enough to switch your body to a ketogenic state. It stops using carbs for its fuel and switches to fat... reducing them to ketones for a long lasting energy source.
There’s a lot of info out there for ketogenic diets, and I really loved being on it. My wife can’t stand fatty foods, so she told me the diet was over, lol. No cooking a separate meal for me. But, I lost 37lbs in just under 4 months, kept it off for another 6, and felt ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
She and I were talking just last night about how crappy I have felt for the last couple months while I have been off the diet. My migraines came back, my sugar crashes have come back when my meal times don’t line up properly, and I gained about 10 pounds back.
I really do miss being on an essentially no carb diet. And, I miss being able to eat all the fat I wanted.
