After reading what Matt Stone says about low carb and weight I read a lot in panick to make sense of it all the past two days. Already today I am eating carbs again. Almost just carbs, to get my body used to them again. I was afraid of horrible reactions, but my refeeding must have done some good because I have eaten apples, pineapple, oranges, potatoes, yoghurt, wheat and oats with no problems other than I had to sleep almost right after eating wheat and potatoes, but I'm used to sleeping at daytime so that is alright.
I have more energy today. I have baked chibatta and rolls, vacumed, been out shopping and talked energetically on the phone the few hours I didn't sleep. I have so much energy. I feel it in my muscles. I think my almost extreme hunger was for carbs all along.
I thought yesterday that I wouldn't manage to eat the boring carbs, but boy was I wrong. I'm such a habit person. I get used to things so quickly and make a habit of it right away. To be able to eat to minimum without fat is impossible for me, at least today. I don't know how long I should eat just carbs. If I manage to increase the calories to minimum I can do this for weeks, but if I don't eat enough I should eat some fat too or I will stop the healing process and reduce my musclemass. But now I just feel great accept the head ache. That is common for people who has changed their diet, Matt says.
Some are able to overeat on just carbs. How do they do it? This is to fire up the metabolism so they can eat more afterwards and not have to restrict. Look at the blog post "Matt Stone says" and you will find more on this topic, as well as links to his homepage.
He says low carb reduces the metabolism and tires out the adrenals. The reason why i just eat carbs now that i am getting the body used to them is that if we eat carbs and fat when we are used to fat only we will gain fat weight. How I don't know. If we eat almost carbs only we will not gain fat. If we overeat on just carbs we will gain muscle weight only.
My plan is to first get used to carbs so I can eat both fat and carbs later, and then eat balanced (mostly carbs, fat in moderation and a little protein. More calories from fat than from protein. The opposite of what i ate for years.
