Thumbs up Carb Withdrawal

Actually, I have 10-40 grams per day. So far it's been pretty nice. I do miss white rice and corn tortillas but, gotta have some sacrafice. Withdrawal (I guess that's what it is) has just been mostly tired legs and light headedness. I can live with it. Considering a nice side effect is I used to have to take 50% more blood pressure medicine than I'm supposed to. After starting this, I noticed part of my tiredness was due to LOW blood pressure. I checked the other day and was 107/77. It has never been that low. I'm usually 130/88. So I was able to cut my dose in half. Also, I have a hiedal hernia in my stomach(thanks for the inheritance, Mom) and take prilosec. Was able to cut that in half. Overall, my health has imprved and lost 1 lbs. since 6/1. I like it.
