Adventures in Low-Carb Living, Finishing the Week

As an experiment this has gone well, I have noticed increased energy although I had a virus, was not flat down for as long as usual, also my lower extremity edema is greatly decreased. I think I will continue to do this for a while longer at least, but post on it once a week or so unless something amazing happens.

To me it felt like it was just time to give low-carb a try, my mom does it, my son is doing it as part of his training, it seems everywhere I turn I hear something about it so it was a “what the heck its for science,” type thing.

Not everyone knows this, I write about health on almost a daily basis after all, but I am a big girl. I had a hysterectomy when I was 24 and gained 49 pounds in 3 months, for the next 17 years I stayed within 10 pounds of that new weight, then I had my work injury that ruined my hip, so all of a sudden I was taking steroids and doing my nursing from behind a desk, big difference. I rapidly gained almost 30 pounds right away, then another 10 over the next year.
