20/1/19 @@@The 6 Points to Winning Day 15

I will win 1 day at a time:

1. Wake up latest 7:00 am - Slept late woke up late; 10:45 am.  Still 8 hours
2. Exercise 1 hour in the morning - Missed it
3. Eat 16/8  starting 2:00 pm - Ate plenty of chicken and veges
4. Exercise 1 hour in the afternoon - Grocery and heavy rain
5. Eat LCHF at 8:00 pm - Eat 6 chicken wings and broccoli
6. Sleep at 11.00 pm - Slept at 2.00 pm, no electricity 

That's the minimum to win the day.

There is an urge to eat something sweet (sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine).  So I have a Nicorette instead.

Speaking to the Guardian, DiNicolantonio said that the consumption of sugar was a grave concern. “In animals, it is actually more addictive than even cocaine, so sugar is pretty much probably the most consumed addictive substance around the world and it is wreaking havoc on our health.”

“The rodent studies show that you only get addiction-like behaviours if you restrict the animals to having [sugar] for two hours every day. If you allow them to have it whenever they want it – which is really how we consume it – they don’t show these addiction-like behaviours,” he said. 

“What this means is that it is the combination of that particular kind of intermittent access and sugar that produces those behaviours. Further you get the same kind of effect if you use saccharin … so it seems to be about sweet taste rather than sugar.”

Nicorette is bad.  Anything sweet spike the insulin production.  I gotta stop taking Nicorette if I am to be totally clean.

This song keeps popping up:

Sugar will make me fat.  The body produce insulin to clear out sugar from the blood and into the fat 

storage.  Insulin converts sugar into fat to be stored as energy.  To unlock this storage I need to stop the production of insulin.  As long as there are insulin, the fat will not be converted into sugar.  I have high insulin because I like to eat sweet stuff and because I am on medication.

The medication increases my insulin and created some problem with my testosterone.  When that happens it creates inflammations, increases my blood pressure and makes me prediabetic.  I talked to a doctor who was doing her Masters thesis on paliperidone.  She said women who takes the med misses their menstrual cycle.  So the medication has side effects.

The common pattern I start smoking or eating carbs again is because I am depressed.  This was often camouflaged as boredom or the need to connect with others.
