The lesser of two evils.

I’m just a girl standing at a crossroads.

This path right here, that I’ve been walking for several months, is full of fat, artificial sweeteners, dairy, and protein. Gone have been grains, starchy vegetables, sugar, legumes.

The other path is paved with low-fat, dairy-free, no artificial sweeteners, no caffeine, no chocolate. Do eat whole grains, high fiber vegetables, high fiber fruits, high fiber cereal, and protein.

The current path (ketogenic) is low carb and has given me the steadiest within range blood sugar levels I’ve ever had.

The other path is high carb and will make it impossible for me to avoid blood sugar spikes and drops. My levels will look like a roller coaster.

This other path is the one I’m now being told to follow for the next two weeks and possibly longer. I don’t even know how to automatically shift to the exact opposite way of eating. It makes no sense to me and triggers a worry of out of control blood sugar levels.

I know I’m probably being a bit black & white with this, but this is truly how it looks to me right now.

It’s exhausting having to think about food this much. The focus and decisions are mentally draining.
