Back from the carb dead
Well, it's a few days after I started binging on carbs and I think I am finally feeling better. I am completely amazed at how significant change was after I stops eating Paleo. The only way I can describe it is it was basically like being sick but without throwing up or fever or sore throat or runny nose. In fact, after my wife did a little low carb experiment to lose some weight before a wedding she was in she felt more or less the same way I did. She actually went to the doctor because of it but neither one of us put it together with the dietary changes until much after the fact. So my question is this: is it the carbs themselves or is it just simply change? I don't know that I will ever totally understand, but feel that crappy a pretty big motivator to eat better. However, now that I'm more aware of food and its sources and the implications, everything is more complicated. Do I limit myself to on only organic food and the pasture fed raised meat, not only for the health benefits but to vote with my money? How much am I willing to go through to support those industries I believe in and does it mean never eating in a restaurant again? I don't know the answers to all of these questions but I am excited about signing up for our CSA box this fall - that is one positive step I can make easily.
