There’s something going on that doesn’t get spoken about enough , it’s the clarity . I mean , every time you read about some diet and the writer talking about how they feel once dieting they mention it , but it’s too brief . We are closing in on 4 weeks of very controlled eating , too controlled for my liking , but the biggest benefit for me is my head . Could I have at last stumbled upon a means to shrink my head ? It feels smaller , lighter , cleaner . I dunno what’s happening but the weight in my head has lessened . I don’t want to sound like some diet blogger / guru but I feel exceptionally good almost every day . Could I actually be growing brain cells ? Nah , that wouldn’t make sense as my head would be getting bigger . Fuck that I’d need to get back on the bong and start drinking real quick to stop that . It’s really made me sit up and take notice . Why such a clear head ?
I’m not going to the homework and look into it cause that’s gonna give me a headache, and they’ve been super rare since starting this Keto kick . Really , why so crystal clear ? No sugar , super low carbs . What’s the biggest influence ? Or is it just both ? I don’t know this for a fact , but I’m leaning towards the exclusion of any refined sugars in the diet . It’s been an eye opener . Just try and find products on the supermarket shelf that have no added sugar , it’s tough . I’m starting to look at all those hysterical fitness freaks we see on ‘The biggest loser ‘ in a new light . SUGAR is the enemy . That’s my call , with no scientific data to prove it , but just saying my brain feels laser sharp and I’m backing it in .
It takes me back to a conversation I had with Megan Deutscher . A lot of us know Megan back home in Aus . She’s a fitness freak , a gun personal trainer and is bloody lean . I wondered how she lost the weight , and she looked good with it on either way . I never really asked how she did it but I got an insight and it’s starting to strike a cord now . I asked what treats , if any , that she ever rewarded herself with ? She said a nice glass of red ( Pino noir)and a dark piece of chocolate . I pretty much scoffed at her . “Nah , I mean something a little bad and sweet “, I said . She replied that the she could taste the sweetness in the red easily and the the taste of the dark chocolate was easily enough to satisfy her cravings . I walked away and thought….”Nah Megan , you’re crazy and talking shit , there’s gotta be a TimTam or donut hidden in there somewhere “. ……… You see , I knew the answer . I truly believed Megan there and then , it was just that I didn’t want to believe her and hoped like hell a donut had been sneaked in occasionally, as sure as hell I’m not giving them up .
After 4 weeks of eliminating sugar and carbs I can taste sugar in a lot of things I’d never had before . Red wine ,and yes Pino tasted so fruity ,and 90% dark Lindt chocolate I need every night . I have grown accustomed to dark chocolate , love that shit . I’m calling it , cut the sugar and your head will shrink an inch in diameter , and yes I know how Megan lost the weight .
