One Month On

 It has been a productive month.  I have firmed up on my belief that low-carb is the way to go.  I read "The Clot Thickens", a book that lays out clearly the causes of heart disease.  Basically it is important that the damage to your arterial walls is slower than the repair to them.

Damage is caused by diabetes, stress, and particulates.  Repair is helped by sunshine, exercise and a good diet.

Everything is connected and I'm sure that my tingling is an early symptom of something much more dangerous.  I hope that these symptoms can be reversed and I'll do my best.

Plantar fasciitus is doubling my discomfort and clouding my feelings of well-being.

My action plan is:

• Eat low carb (75g per day)
• Fast (miss breakfast) 4 days a week
• Keep calories to less than 1,500 pd until at required weight
• Eat more protein (75g per day)
• Keep to 14 alcohol units per week
• practice sleeping better
• practice mindfullness
• Take selected supplements (C,D and Omega 3)
• Do high intensity exercise / weights 3 days/week
• Walk daily and swim twice / week
