Carb Overload.
Last Wednesday, I went out to dinner (Kinga). Last Friday, I went out to lunch (Viet’s). Saturday, out to lunch (Wild Mountain Smokehouse), then on Sunday out to brunch (Hamburger Mary’s).
The carbohydrate intake - after keeping it at about 20 carbs per day for nearly a year - disrupted my sleep, gave me energy rushes followed by sugar crashes, and keep my heartburn at Tums level (which is low, really; Pepcid level is medium and Prilosec or Tagamet is high).
I also gained 6 pounds in 5 days.
I’m not advocating the low-carb thing to everyone, but after this week, I know for a fact it works for me.
And it’s worth the sleep.
