Low Carb Beginnings & Migraine Relief

It's now been about a year since my husband and I first gave up on the Atkin's diet.  Not really gave up, even, but became too busy for it.  As students who also worked, we found it hard to balance the time it required in preparation, cooking, etc.

I've decided it's time to return to a low carb style of eating.  My body really responded well to it and I know with how my hormones work, it's what I need to do for myself.  So, starting tomorrow it will be back to a low carb life style; cutting out sweets and sodas entirely, and going to nearly no pasta, rice, breads, you name it.  I do know I need fruit in my diet, and that was a large part of why Atkin's wasn't entirely successful for me; I eat a lot of fruit and yogurt which were not allowed in the early phases of the diet (which we remained on for several months).

I'm doing this for, obviously, weight loss but also other health concerns, primarily to combat my migraines.  I get far more than are healthy and I think that if I work to better balance and control my diet, I can nearly eliminate them.  Or, I hope so, at least! 

So, today it's shopping and prepping for the week starting tomorrow! Wish me luck. :)
