Im trying to get my diet sorted out.
Yesterday I had planned to work out after I got home and took care of a few things. By the time I should have headed to the gym I just didn't have the energy to go. I fell asleep.
My total carbs yesterday consisted of a half cup of cooked brown rice, three flour tortillas and a few hundred calories worth of vegetables. About 11am I had the sweet taste of ketosis in my mouth and it didn't really go away untill my girlfriend took me to Boston Market and I had the mashed potatoes and a piece of cornbread. Those carbs made me feel a million times better.

I don't want or need to be in Atkins' style Ketosis right? What I am trying to do is avoid insulin spikes from high Glycemic Index carbs correct? High Fiber/Protein/Fat is preferred because they make you feel full and are slow digesting and have an effect where they slow down the rate at which the carbs you do eat hit your bloodstream right? I don't really enjoy the low carb headache and even now I am starting to get the sweet taste in my mouth.
