Pretty cheesy title, but what else can I say? it has been way too long since I have written in my blog, and it has way too long since I Juiced.
Ok so the last post was back in May last year 2022, and I had just watched Jason Vales new video and was inspired to get healthy again. Of course it worked and I acheived really good weight loss my blood sugars came down to normal and I was doing ok for a while. Then midway through last year, the new wonder drug for diabetes I had been subscribed was in very short supply, so short that I had none and so couldn't continue to take it. That is when the carb creep began and little by little I was eating carbs again, essentially I had given up, later in the year I had a cruise coming up and thought I might as well wait until after the cruise to get my health in check. All good cruise done and dusted, only gained 2.3 kilo on the cruise which I thought was pretty impressive concidering the food I was eating on the cruise, but being a bit slack and still not being able to get the trulicity, I continued to eat poorly, and what with Christmas coming up, what was the point of juicing over Christmas right? I was true to my word and started my Juice fast on Monday the 2nd of January 2023, starting weight was appalling blood sugar was worse! My fasting BGL on that day was 23.2 , unfortunately I haven't found any inspiring new videos to help keep me on track so I have just used my will and determination to keep going, it helps to see the scales come down by 3 and a bit kilo, but the main thing is that my blood sugar has dropped to around 6, which I am happy about. I didn't realise how many cooking programs and recipe groups I subscribe to on Facebook, until you are juice fasting and all you see on Fb is food and not just any food the most tempting cakes and desserts. I say tempting but I am strong I wont be swayed, but what I did stumble across is Dr Ken Berry talking about the Carnivore diet or what he calls the BBBE (Beef, Bacon, Butter and Eggs) diet, claims to lose 24 pounds (10kilo) in a week, that seems like wow. I watched a couple of Dr Berry's you tube videos and instead of being inpired for the juicing I am actually inspired to give this Carnivore diet ago, because the carb intake is practically zero it is good for diabetes too, of course I have every intention of staying on keto after this juicing period (which I haven't yet decided how long I will go for) but from what I have seen of the carnivore diet it is very similar to keto only it would be like doing Keto on steroids, so I will keep you posted on what I decide to do when this session is complete. I will post the video here if you want to take a look, very interesting how many ailments it can mend to make you feel good again.
