Well, this is an experiment I won't repeat. I thought, wow, I'm really cutting down on empty calories of wine- so maybe once a week junk/carb loading won't hurt. That's how I'll celebrate the end of the work week. I suppose I should have thought about the fact that I've eaten fairly strictly low carb for years so my system is pretty well adjusted to that.
OK. I got myself potato chips, an ice cream sandwich, two large cookies. And I ate a good portion of it at one sitting last night. Then, about half an hour after that, I started to feel slightly nauseated- and then spent most of an hour with belly cramps. My GI tract was truely not ready for grains and sugar.
Morals of the story:
(1) Food in excess, especially the wrong type, is definitely not as bad as too much wine, but it is not doing my health any favors, either.
(2) If I need a Friday night treat, a steak and part of a baked potato might be good, or some form of shellfish, which I adore.
(3) It's back to mostly very low carb for me!!
Carrie at Day #18.
PS. The rest of everything went down the garbage disposal. Groan, says my stomach, even now.
