Sugar...

For the past month or so, I had been real strict on my sugar/carb/fat in-take. I'm a slim dude by nature, but I was looking to force myself to make up for my lack of carbs with a higher amount of protein. This was helping by leaning out some of the body fat, and building up muscle tissue underneath. One thing I noticed was a major change in energy levels. Aside from a day or two transition period, I had a lot more energy and less severity in the change in my moods. Recently, I indulged myself in a week long feast of carbs, sugar, and fat. Part of it was because I was out of town and couldn't really regulate my diet comfortably, and the other part was because I got a sinus infection and I always spoil myself when I get sick. The major change has been in my moods. They are much more drastic when they change, while eating lots of sugar/carbs. The natural energy surge has been replaced by a quick artificial spike, and then a slow and sludgy slope. I look forward to getting back on my healthy eating again. Sounds weird right? I always picture two people in my mind when I eat. I am either eating to look like Stallone in Rambo, or Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. It helps make things easier. Try it. Holla.
