Low Carb Ramblings

Of all the tests we have tried, we find that eating lower carb seems to help us generally feel better. This doesn’t have to be as strict as you think. But eating less grains (note that doesn’t mean total elimination!), lower carb veggies and lower sugar fruits, seems to help prevent over eating.

I think part of it is that by contrast you are eating more protein.

You can do it on a vegetarian diet (I did for months!) — but it is easier if you add chicken and fish.

I feel better having less breads. Yes, there are some low carb ones out there – and yes, I do enjoy them now and then.

A book that seems to explain it is: The Craving Cure: Break the Hold Carbs and Sweets Have on Your Life

But play with the variety of foods you eat. Find out which ones make you feel better and which ones make you feel worse. Keep a diet journal. Enjoy better health!

I hope this helps you end your cravings too!

Apatite 1 Week Test Results

So all I am doing differently is wearing this apatite necklace. No will power; no trying to eat less. Just listening to my body a bit more.

The first day I wore the necklace – I gorged! I ate anything I wanted. My body let me know which foods it didn’t want by having food literally fall off the plate. It also let me know which foods it wanted by giving me “healthy” cravings.

I started craving chicken instead of sugar. And potato chips lost some of their attraction. I got fuller faster. I got uncomfortable eating when full.

It all seems rather weird. But much to my surprise it does work.

It is pricey – so it isn’t for everyone. But it worked for me in helping me change my eating habits. When keeping the necklace by my bedside I would wake up knowing why I craved certain foods. The potato chips were for salt; the chicken was for more protein.
