Carb Attack! - August 16th, 2006

OK, I broke my rule not to eat out again. But I ate at Outback and had a Caesar Salad, small filet (medium RARE) and mixed vegetables. I didn't eat any of their bread and didn't even feel pouty about it!

It was an excellent way to end a perfectly awful day: awful because it was VERY stressful at work. But perfect, too, because despite that, I held firmly to my way of eating and, as a result, when I just took my BG it was 124! This is about an hour after eating, and such a low reading is amazing for me after a meal.

So Dr. Bernstein's "Diabetic Diet" seems to be working! If you are diabetic or insulin resistant, I recommend it. It's extremely low carb, so many people have a hard time staying on it. But I find that the good results I get make me willing to stick with it pretty well so far.
