Let's call it a science experiment....

Well, I was up 1.2lbs today, but otherwise I feel great. No sluggishness or fogginess. No headache. And best yet? No desire to have lots of carbs! I'm pretty pleased with how well that all went. I'll be interested to see how long this extra pound lingers, but I'm certainly not stressing over it.

Sounds about like my experience when I was running CKD. Every Friday night, I'd slam down either a whole medium pizza and order of breadsticks, or about nine different maki rolls. Eventually though, the combining of high carb, high fat and high sodium started to make me feel like *kitten*.

I want to say that I made it for about two months before it finally caught up with me hard.

And I'm back to my weight I was before the binge. One day elevated. Not bad! Granted, it was a 2000 calorie binge, which is nothing compared to what I used to do, but I'm pleased that the crazy high carbs didn't kill me for days.

I'm glad to hear someone else is not in total angst after eating a bunch of carbs. I've never been and just recently, as an n=1 experiment, intentionally ate over 240 carbs. No headache. No disruptive digestive tract. No weight gain. No bloating. No nausea. I was a little sluggish. No doubt about that.

I have no intention of eating high carb again as a W.O.E. or even on a semi-regular basis but did up my daily total from 20-30 ish to 50. Also upped my protein (which was probably lower than most) and reduced fat a bit.

Yep, I normally aim to stay below 50, and I believe my pizza bash put me up around 270g. Definitely not something I'm planning on doing even on a monthly basis, just because I still have plenty of weight to lose, but it's nice knowing I CAN if I want to on a rare occasion.
