Recently, happening upon this post (one of many fascinating posts on a fascinating blog), I was spurred into action, finding out everything I could online about something called a “Slow-Carb” diet. I won’t bore you with the details, of which I am only just beginning to grasp (google would be a fine place to start for more info if you’re interested). The broad strokes are that eating carbohydrates high on the Glycemic Index is not good for you and eating foods low on the Glycemic Index is good for you. The difference between the somewhat popular low-carb diet
and this aptly named slow-carb diet is that low-carb diets aim to avoid carbohydrates altogether, while slow-carb diets are just picky about what kinds of carbohydrates to eat [hint: slow-burning carbs].
The point of this post was not to bore you with all that [although all that was necessary in order to get on with this next part], the point is: my wife, Tammy, and I have been on this slow-carb diet for a little over a week now [doing well, thank you], and I have been keeping up with my weight and my caloric intake fairly well and plan on reporting back periodically on my progress. So, the challenge is to stick to the diet and documentation, and report back my results.
I guess that’s it.
