Three thoughts from a week of calorie counting on a low carb diet, with no pre-planning:
- It’s frustrating, like all of a sudden finding yourself in a community of people that don’t speak your language.
- Sustaining a feeling of hunger, or quenching it with water, sometimes comes with a weird feeling of gratitude for the comfortable life you’ve built for yourself.
- At the end of the week that burger you like at your local establishment, that you’ve had many times, tastes infinitely better.
