I started cutting down on carbs and increasing my protein and fat intake yesterday. While I was previously subsisting mostly on carbs (generally over 200g per day), I cut down the carbs to about 80g. My blood sugar was a bit up and down all day yesterday, which was expected. I snacked on roasted almonds all day and had no high-carb foods after about 1pm. I didn't monitor my blood sugar very well that day, so I don't know what it was before I went to bed.
This is my food log for October 20 from SparkPeople:
I woke up around 7am today with a fasting blood sugar level of 97, which is basically perfect! I had a high-protein breakfast with no carbs, and at 2pm, my blood sugar was 107, still perfect. I'll upload my food log tomorrow.
I haven't fully started yet, and I have a major headache that I believe is due to going from 200g of carbs a day to 60, to almost none so far today. I know this will go away after a couple of weeks, but I don't actually have the money to get all the food I need to dive into this diet completely yet. But so far, it seems like it'll go well.
