March 7th, 2010A week of eating differently
March 7th, 2010If you had told me, oh, three weeks ago that I was going to wake up every morning and cook breakfast I would have told you that you were nuts. But that’s what I did.
On February 25th I decided to make some dietary changes. Not “go on a diet,” which I believe to be a fool’s game, but to change the way I eat and see if that made me feel any better. My changes:
- Cook breakfast every morning, with protein being a significant source.
- Eat more protein throughout the day.
- Drastically reduce carbohydrate intake.
Now, strictly speaking I didn’t go “low-carb,” I just brought carbs down to a more reasonable level. The results were almost immediate:
- Greater energy
- Less stress
- Significantly less hunger
- Significantly less depression
- As a result of the above, far better concentration.
Many more things seem possible now that I am less oppressed by existential ennui.
The next step, I think, is to keep a food journal — keep track of what I eat and how it makes me feel afterwards.
