sarasnoodles's Journal, 11 May 14

Food day success! I'm swinging back onto the happy fat train. The mood improvement when I cut sugar is so immediate, it's really dramatic. Of course, correlation /= causation. Maybe I cut sugar when I'm feeling better? (Possible, not probable, though.)

My fail of the day was going ahead and eating the gluten-free rolls. I was going to sub them for potatoes, but I didn't have potatoes. They didn't even taste good. Oh well, now they're gone so I don't have to feel guilty about being wasteful on a grad-student's budget.

I'll go over my carb preference with mangoes this evening. But at least they are real food with lots of fiber! I don't do the net-carb thing because it messes up my sense of how much food I've eaten. But I let myself go a little over my preferred carb limits if I'm eating fibrous things due to the science/concept of net carbs. I also tend to be pretty lax in my exactness with tracking. In amounts I think I'm pretty close, but a lot of what I eat I make myself, or eat specialty brands that are healthier than the ones listed on here. For example, the salsa from today I made myself and I used Penzy's taco spices which don't have any sugar. Of course, fs thinks both of these items have sugar, so I just chose a brand randomly and plugged it in. It's close enough.

In related news, because I'm semi-paleo (in theory if not practice) I try to avoid beans; plus they don't sit very well in me. Today I stirred some canned butternut squash in my taco meat and it made a consistency just like if I were eating refried beans! Huzzah! Been looking for an appropriately creamy sub for beans for years!
