Today marks this blog's re-birth. Formerly it was simply an accounting of one migraine-related incident: my NSAID ulcer. Now, it will chronicle anything and everything related to my headaches.
The big story today is that I've decided to avoid not just sugar, not just gluten, but all carbs.
I came to this decision after reading the book "Why We Get Fat," by Gary Taubes. In this remarkable book, he cites study after study after study clearly showing that we must eat fat to burn fat.
What?
For eons, we've been told to eat high fiber carbs and low-fat foods. Turns out that's exactly the wrong thing to eat.
And it may be why I gained so much weight eating high fiber and low-fat.
Guess what else he disproves? That notion that we must eat fewer calories than we use up each day. Bad science.
I'm willing to give it a try.
Starting weight: 246 lbs. I am obese.
