I am now in the sixth week of the Blood Sugar Solution Diet. For the most part I have remained on the diet, but I must admit to having a few weak moments when I had a forbidden food. In my case 2 pieces of Wheat bread and two cookies on Willie's birthday. I also had some trouble eating enough of the good food; I would get tired of eating 5-6 meals a day and skip a meal, or sometimes forget a meal until it was almost time for another meal. But even with these missteps I lost weight, 12 pounds over five weeks so far, and a total of 25 inches from around the whole frame. I rarely had cravings but the two times I did, I finally gave in and had something on the diet, but way too much of it. So what is my bottom line? The diet works aces. But I need to do more on the exercise and meditation side of the diet. So I have decided that I am going to change this "diet" into a life style and live it permanently. After 6 weeks you can begin to test a few new foods back into the diet such as dairy and a few more fruits and see how that reflects upon your weight loss. However I think that I'll stay pretty closely to the original diet and get a lot more exercise and start using the sauna. Then we'll talk about it again after another six weeks has passed.
One thing that getting rid of sugar and salt does for you is to stimulate your taste buds and everything seems to taste sweeter and richer. I have learned to love a lot of new vegetables such as Kale and celery and cucumbers. So many experiences with the food combinations.
The art of life is to live in the present moment and that is how I am managing to change my life-style diet from eating everything I might want to eat at any instant to eating with control over my baser appetites. The biggest struggle is with my own self and I can only win if I take one moment at a time and think only for that moment. Although I can now walk to Caesar's on the Boardwalk, I want someday to be able to walk for miles along the Boardwalk and enjoy all there is to see along its length. Moment by moment it shall be done.
Tomorrow I am meeting with another author who has recently had a book published, "Boogie Days," by Albert R. Cumberbatch. It is a great and exciting story and I heartily recommend it to you. You will laugh out loud and sob hard as the pages go by of a young boy in English Guyana who struggles against amazing odds to get an education and improve his life. His will is indomitable and you can't help but root for the young boys survival against many odds. It is available through Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble, among other outlets such as Target and Walmart.
Anyway, Mr. Cumberbatch is going to help me to understand how to get my book through the same publisher as his and I am so eternally grateful to him for his time and willingness to share knowledge in this area. So I will write my blog after our meeting and tip you off on how things go in our session.
Have a great day and stay dry and warm.
