Food Journal

Eating plans differ from person to person. Some people cannot tolerant the absence of carbohydrates (usually refined simple carbs i.e: bread, noodles), they get jittery, cranky and the run of the mill batty. Others like me excel on a low carbohydrate, high protein meal plan. If I do take carbs, they are in the form of complex carbohydrates (vegetables, brown rice, sweet potato). Admittedly, the latter few are rare and only occur if i have to. Otherwise, it's literally meat and vegetables. The meal plan is for my entire lifetime, sure I will allow myself the occasional bread stick or two but I suspect that I am yeast intolerant and by virtue carb intolerant. I monitor my moods, energy level when I do take them and they begin with promise, I have a burst of energy and then, it falters fairly quickly leaving me tired.

I have more energy on a high protein diet, I feel less bloated (for a girl, there is no better motivation than not having the after dinner paunch). I suggest trying the various meal plans (I am hesitant in calling it a diet because, it should be permanent change in the way that you eat)
