America, My People, Murika, and Carb Nite

Patriotic Galore

A lot of my outlook and planning for this diet changed as I have done more research into the whole ketogenises, leptin, and insulin levels, but before this radical diet, a carb-up day, which can kind of be interpreted as a cheat day, is planned once a week.  As part of this ever so difficult diet, this one day usually fell on a day when I knew I'd be partying.  This particular July 4th... it ended up on Independence Day... which is July 4th.

Like any other proud American on a typical American day, I started off carb-nite with this glorious insulin spike:

Food for Bulking Angels

Had about half of this cake after a pretty legit... some sort of activity of picking things up and down.  Don't really remember.  I don't even lift.  That amounted to about 200g of carbs which was about half of what I was aiming for.

Then I ate... and we danced, and we cried and we laughed and had a really really really good time.  Took my hand, had a blast with fireworks and remembered this moment for the rest of our lives .  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Started that long weekend off at 201 (apparently Germany had it out for me)... then ended at 199.  All gainz lost.  Was another... Carb Nite turned into... having a good time with friends.  Friends are just awful people.
