I bought a package of Haagen Daz bars again today and consumed them while driving through the foothills above my house in the ritzy neighborhood. I had made a list of foods that I enjoy. All but one of them are permissible under the eating plan I have adopted of low carb semi carnivore eating with intermittent fasting. I fasted breakfast because I got up late and today was the day I weigh in each week. I had lost a couple of pounds since last week, which was likely due in part at least to fasting breakfast. For lunch I had burgers cooked with onions and mushrooms with Swiss cheese melted on top. It was delicious but I was soon sated and left most of one of the two burgers for Richard to eat. Eating the Haagen Daz bars was counter to my desire to live for the best result. It was a childish impulse. I have been able to establish a number of beneficial habits during the past nine months since July of 2018. First came meaningful actions to organize my home and maintain it. Eventually I addressed other issues. For the past two and a half months I have been following a stringent diet that has resulted in the loss of more than 27 pounds. Midway through my effort and exercising I injured my hip, possibly a crack in the bone. I didn't seek medical treatment but over a period of several weeks I used supported motion as a means to heal. It has been successful.
One of the primary reasons I began my diet was to change my prognosis of the possibility of mental deterioration in the form of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. My reading and viewing has convinced me that continuing to eat a standard American diet would almost guarantee eventual mental and physical deterioration because of insulin resistance. Giving in to the impulse to indulge in a favorite ice cream treat was folly.
