Surprise wheat source of the day...Soy Sauce! It's the second ingredient on the label. Who knew?
So today is day one and while I feel confident, I can't help but feel a bit off...like I'm going against something that is so engrained (no pun intended) in me. But, I will do my best nonetheless and see where this journey takes me. I am about to head out to the grocery store to stock up my pantry. My fasting sugar was 149 this morning. For breakfast I had 2 eggs mixed with bacon and cheddar cheese. I was going to add mushrooms, but they were bad. After my trip to the store I hope to eat more vegies and less fatty stuff. Of course the book states that fats aren't so much the enemy. It doesn't recommend going crazy on mayo, sour cream, butter and the like...but using such things in moderation is perfectly ok. It's the mindset I am taking with me going wheat free to see if it really is wheat that causes the problems. Davis recommends getting strict for those in dire health circumstances. I do not consider myself in that category, so I'll allow for other sources of carbs. My sugar levels after breakfast, by the way, was 113. I'll be interested to see how other carb sources other than wheat affect my levels considering my breakfast was carb free. I'm starting today at 193.5 lbs (I can't believe I'm admiting that). It's still down close to 15 lbs from my all time high weight of 208 a year and a half ago. My goals, besides ridding myself of diabetes and getting healthier overall, is to drop around 50 lbs. I haven't been that weight since I entered high school as a freshman 24 years ago. I woke this morning feeling tired and a trip to the garden left me winded (to be fair, I picked and hauled in 9 cucumbers, 5 zucchinis and 2 tomatoes, some of which were enormous). Below I am posting pictures I took this morning (please don't laugh at my farmer tan). I'll check back in this evening with more food choices and sugar levels.
