Day 55 Its Working, Maybe

I stuffed my face well into the night. I can't remember all I ate. But this morning I expected my blood sugar would read in the 200s. It read 119, safely in control. Wow, it may be working. I will return to a reduced consumption to try to knock off the pounds this experiment caused me. One of the sad problems one experiences on a fast or reduced consumption is the speed with which your body gains weight when you exceed your targeted calories. After fasting for fifteen days in Spain in 1982, I flew to London and gained 10 pounds of the 23 I had lost back in just one day. As George Bernard Shaw cautioned, "Any fool can fast, but it takes a wise one to break his fast." Shaw 1, McDonald 0.

My before dinner reading of 81 tells the story. I should have elevated readings when the readings didn't follow an 8-hour fasting. Something is going right. Let's see if my morning readings substantiate this. I still ate 400 more calories than I should have.
