A few years back I went for blood work and my sugar was borderline diabetic ( among other things). I was told to cut back on carbs then check back in 12 weeks for a follow up blood test for comparison. Being vegetarian/ vegan, that was a challenge, since carbs played a pretty big role on what I ate. I was a little nervous, cause if the results came back with ,little or no change, then something systemically ( and likely more serious) was going on. Since I do all the cooking, I was able to control what my intake was ( and I was very good and faithful to the new diet)After being both creative ( and miserable )for 12 weeks, I went back to get retested. Turns out everything was back in the normal range ( no borderline numbers, all I the heart of normal). I was relieved and knew that I had control over the situation. I've been very good since, allowing a day a week for cheating, but over all, I keep a low carb diet. That being said, so celebrate the end of a low/ no carb 12 week period, I flew in 2 deep dish Chicago Pizza's. I figured I'd earned it, and never had had one before, it was the perfect way to celebrate.
***For me, Im not a big sweets eater, so it was the bread and pasta I had to ( and still do) alter***
Hope Charlie had similar results.
