So for the past two days I've been feeling super shaky and kinda like I might pass out, no matter how much healthy snacking I am doing between meals. I looked it up, and it's called carb crash (or ketosis), and it happens around day three of a low carb diet. Bingo! That's what's going on. It will go away in a couple of days, but in the mean time it still kinda sucks. A few sites recommend eating fruit, nuts, and green veggies together to combat this annoyance. I notice I feel better if I eat some nuts/oil in between my 3 hour increments. If it gets me through a few days, I'm not gonna sweat it (and I won't be breaking out in cold sweats anymore, either). No one needs a wimpy mom!
Strawberry Spinach Salad:
As much baby spinach as you like
Sliced strawberries
Handful of nuts (I used walnuts because they have good Omega-3s)
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Some Stevia for sweetness
(Seasame seeds or asparagus or cucumber might also be a good addition)
Toss & Enjoy!
And no, I didn't take this photo...I grabbed it off some foodie guru's site. :) By the way—do we all have white, modernist round kitchen tables? I think I see one peeking out from Jessica's plate down there...
we have the fakey ikea version. lame, but working at the moment. ha!
ReplyDeleteOh my entire house is Ikea. No shame in that game! And while I love the table, it's starting to bubble in places and lose its paint. Kind of makes me crazy. :)
