Keep falling off the wagon

[EvafromSussex]

I do not seem to be able to stick to my diet!!!!


I do marvellously on carnivore diet: no hunger, morning glucose more than perfect, brilliant sleep, flat, happy content tummy.
I do very well on LCHF diet (carbs less than 20g).
But when I travel, the temptation and choices are my undoing.

I start with having milk in my coffee and tea. Then I will have cheese, then more vegetables and root vegetables, then a piece of fruit and before I know it, I am ravenously hungry and my judgement is totally impaired. And then waiter puts warm rolls in front of me. Or complementary sweet with a bill, and before I know it, my postprandial glucose is reading 15 mmol/L!

My stomach explodes in size, and basically reacts as if I just caught dysentery in the slums of Calcutta, and I end up fasting for 48 hours - when my morning glucose beginning to return to normal, and my craving subside.

Its predictable and frustrating, and I feel like any form of travel or socialising is a danger zone.
Thank you for letting me get that of my chest!

It does get more difficult when you travel. When you feel hungry, try filling up on low carb foods such as cheese, nuts, meat, avocado. These foods will suppress your appetite without the big glucose rise. Remind yourself of how good it feels to get good readings and how bad it would be to go blind or lose a limb!
