BBQ ribs...
My DH and I went to Sonny's BBQ for lunch today. I have been eating roughly 20-30carb per/day for the last two weeks or so, in an effort to lose post-pregnancy weight (it's working great, BTW). Anyway, I got a half rack of baby-back ribs, a chicken breast (the chicken isn't cooked w/sauce), and a salad (about a cup of lettuce, onion, egg, green pepper, about 2 tbs of blue-cheese dressing). I knew the ribs had BBQ sauce on them, but I didn't add any to them and figured it would be fine...2 tbs of their sauce has 16 carbs, so I figured it was probably about 20 carbs for the ribs (their half-rack is really small). Anyway, after we ate I started to feel weird, like my whole body was "buzzing" or something. Then, about 1/2 an hour later, I got so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open and fell asleep in the living room. I have been feeling so great on this plan, with a lot of energy. I couldn't believe how tired I was! And now, I have such carb cravings (also unusual) that I ate TWO of my low-carb chocolate doughnuts (3 carb/per). What is the deal? Was it the sugar in the BBQ sauce that caused this type of reaction? And if it was, what is like for someone who's been eating low-carb to REALLY go off the diet, like drink a soda or eat a piece of cake?! After today, I am even more positive that this is the plan for me! I don't want to feel like that again!
