Thanks, Tim. As of yesterday, I got more aggressive with the LSD. I've decided to add some washed brown rice and maybe a single piece of whole grain bread (once a day) with my meals while I shoe horses. Breakfast and dinner will be NSD. It's those 10 hours in the middle of the day when I'm burning mad calories that are wiping me out. Will give this a try and see if it keeps my weight/energy up.
I tried the apple fast and lasted exactly 10 hours before making a decision to crawl to the phone and dial 911 or find a way to get a slice of ham out of the fridge. Ha! Blood sugar just couldn't do it - which is weird since I was getting plenty of sugars. Guess I need protein or fats or something. I wonder if there are any cheat variations of the apple fast that include some nuts or something?
Take care,
Brad
