I haven't been walking that much over the past month and a half because I've been kind of sick with a constant runny nose, cough, and sore throat, Also the weather has been crappy with lots of very cold temps along with some cold rain and then ice everywhere.
Anyway I just weighed myself and I weighed 175.6 lbs. which is actually very good for me since I haven't been walking or fasting lately or even cutting back on food. But the bad news is that my blood sugar levels are 429 !!! Since I've been lazy about walking lately I've decided to try the "potato diet" for a week and see how it goes.
Your first thought might be "WAIT WHAT !!! POTATO'S ARE HIGH IN CARBS AND WILL RAISE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS YOU IDIOT !!!"
Well I just learned that every time you cook a potato and then let it cool down it forms resistant starch that will actually have no impact on your blood sugar levels !!!
As a side effect this diet will actually help you lose all the weight you want because a medium size potato only has about 150 calories in it so your daily calorie intake will be greatly reduced. I figure I'll eat at least 4 medium sized potato's a day maybe 6 at the most. Even if I ate 8 potato's a day that would still be only around 1200 calories a day which is probably less than half of what I normally take in on a normal daily basis for me.
Anyway I'll post updates to let anyone interested to know how it's going.
Feel free to start this diet yourself and leave updates on this thread.
Time to eat my first potato's ! : ) I cooked 4 of them in the microwave yesterday then put them in the refrigerator after they cooled down and now I just reheated 2 of them in the microwave.
Here's a video I found explaining it better than me...
