savvyliterateWell, the doctor passed down the orders and I am to go on a moderate-carb diet effective immediately. I've gained 23 pounds since April and carbs were causing my blood sugar to crash after I ate a meal with a lot of processed stuff (like white flour, white rice, etc.) He gave me The Zone to follow, so that combined with a South Beach carb guide I got at the used bookstore is suppose to help me out. It's not as drastic as Atkins and retains good stuff like milk, etc.
Of course, this makes lunch hard to do as I run around Bristol trying to find something that I can actually eat. I finally settled on a grilled chicken wrap from Subway. I'm starting to get my energy back, which is a very very good thing. It'll take a few weeks for me to finally purge certain foods from my diet, but I have to do it or risk getting diabetes.
I got a review today for "Return to You" that was an actual critique. Whenever Stef and I look at each other's fics, we mainly oooh and ahh. But this pointed out some big flaws that were very accurate. I was absolutely thrilled. I wish I could get more reviews like that.
