Mutant Diet Phase 4 Day 4
Prior to starting this phase, I was on vacation from the diet/fitness routine for three weeks. I indulged in not doing much and eating refined carbs and sugars. I tried to keep some fitness in, but compared to this week, it wasn’t much. I was expecting to have to spend the first week doing “belt notch correction,” i.e. losing about half of a belt notch of girth to take me back to where I was before the time off.
It took 2.5 days to achieve that. The odd part is that the process is identical to what I was doing before (i.e. strangling off the refined carb and sugar flow). The only thing that’s different is the pushups.
Also in the department of WTF, my step counter is showing more steps than I’m expecting. I did change to a different (but identical) counter. Was I being short changed prior to this?
Things that are consistent include that when the easily accessible glucose in my system ran out, I knew it. In addition, my body image is actually worse. All the registered professional counselors will grimace when I admit that I still think there are primitive tribes in South America that would kill me, hollow me out, and use me as a canoe. I think it’s the brain using whatever methods possible to convince me to quit and return to a diet with foods that have a high glycemic index.
