Time for something Different. Yo.

I. Think that I need to try a low carb diet. I've been poking at the idea of dieting for quite a bit of time, and have even started eating more fruit and tea and shiz on my breaks instead of candy and caffeinated, over-sugarfied drinks. Those little cups of pineapple and apples and things certainly help make me not hungry for longer than straight candy, too.

But this time? I be trying a diet. The low carb diet. Research comes first, though, and I'm not sure what kinds of low carb diets (I'm about to start using acronyms, I mean, godsdamn....) are out there, and what they look/act like. The Atkins is one of them, isn't it?

And something about the South Beach, and Idk for sure and whatnot.

Man, Vater Unser (The Lord's Prayer in the English version) sounds so much better in German/Latin than in English/Latin..... (E Nomine, bitches. German techno ftw.)

ANyway. Poking at one of the websites (on About.com), and it seems that I might have.... What the hell was it, a sensitivity to insulin? Something? Because I've been noticing recently that I have a lot of these symptoms: 1) feel like eating even though I just finished a meal, 2) feel urges to eat throughout the day, not necessarily related to a meal schedule or even true hunger, and maybe 3) frequently feel sluggish after eating, especially after a meal rich in starches and sugars.

Ah, found it. I might have a 'carbohydrate sensitivity' or a 'glucose intolerance.' Or just be eating too much in the way of carbs, I don't know. Something. (Going to have to talk to dad about this before doing anything....)

Ooooooooooh.

  • Smoked salmon and cream cheese on cucumber slices
...... Yum.

I think I can live with this diet. I'mma miss spaghetti, though. And Subway.

Kosei just crawled down my shoulder to my lap. Bitch. *pets*

W\ho knows, this might even help me keep my nails long longer than a month. And my hair to grow stronger~!

Think it might be time to start some kind of link page or something.....
