I have been on-off low carbing for a few weeks and noticing how much better I feel when limiting the processed carbs and sugar, so am starting this 800 thing properly as of tomorrow.
Motivations are varied but include
1) to lose weight, especially round my belly – for the sake of holiday photos but also guarding against the return of lower back problems
2) to avoid the shame of having to explain to my sister, a super fit triathlete/ medical doctor, that I have eaten myself into type 2 diabetes
3) to try and fix my relationship with food and stop thinking about sugar all the time
4) **TMI** to try and control IBS which includes HORRIFIC carb bloating, constipation and the foulest stinking gas known to man. Think the stench of Mordor, multiplied a thousand times.
I’ll be interested to see if and how these motivations change over the next few weeks.
But also, dear reader, I’d love to know what are YOUR motivations? Why are you here? Have the reasons changed over time?
