Primate Brow Flash

I’m trying this diet where I avoid sugar and most grains, especially wheat and corn.

Things I’ve noticed:

• dropped about 10 pounds right out of the gate. This is after cycling and swimming like a madman all spring and not losing an ounce. Don’t know how to explain this.
• The diet is surprisingly easy. One reason is that you don’t need to restrict your portions.
• A good name for this diet might be “Fuck-ton o’cheese”
• No more sleepiness after meals or in the mid-afternoon. I mean none, no matter how little sleep I’ve had.
• No more suddenly scouring the environment for snacks. My appetite is like, tamed
• Non-sweetened food tastes surprisingly sweet. Almonds, carrots, raisins, plain yogurt.
• No particular desire for sweets. of course, if a plate of chocolate cake passes under my face, all bets are off.
• Became very sensitive to sugar. On Sunday, I had a glass of Kefir. I had a profound reaction to all that sugar. My heart started racing. I drank the rest of the bottle and then fell asleep in my chair. When I woke up, I went into this zomboid Ambien state and just started eating Cheetos.
• Diet can get a little boring without pizza and pasta and toast. This requires experimenting with recipes. Yesterday, I cooked a bunch of chicken and nuts in peanut oil. Nobody could eat more than one McNugget-sized piece. It absolutely killed my appetite.
• Find myself hiding my diet so I don’t get mistaken for an Atkins idiot.
• Cobb salad is the greatest human invention. Bacon and avocados. Who knew?
• Full of judgment towards others. Those who are obese, those who require fucking pneumatic lifts to get around, those who are on the wrong diets, those who still believe in the food pyramid
• On the other hand, this mysterious, intermittent force we call “will-power” is such a crock. Our biology has to be tricked and/or reprogrammed to really change
