Stabilize Blood Sugar with 42-hour Fast

Too much junk again today, but I am not ranting. I will be kind to myself about it. I think my blood sugar is a roller coaster. No matter what I eat for breakfast, it backfires for the rest of the day. I tried eating complex carb mixed with refined carbs and protein or even boiled veggies mixed with protein, but I still feel ups and downs, unbearable craving and such. It's intense...to the point where I think that I should just eat nothing so my blood sugar never rise up too high.

I won't brag about how fasting is good for you. My blog is not another pro-ana one. All I can say is that modern medicine downgrade the wisdom of old medical knowledge that has been collected and tested for many thousands years. Some doctors berate traditional medicine as outdated, unhealthy, and disgusting. Then look at what modern medical and industrial civilization lead Americans to. Yes, 67% obesity. All ancient traditions or religious practice recommend some forms of fasting. So you might want to listen to those who have something to say about it. And if you still think it's unhealthy, given all modern medical explanations you have heard, you can choose not to do it.

I feel like in the past few weeks, I have no confidence around food. I don't think I can resist temptation. And I am what I think -- I get out of control. Sure that mindset doesn't work. This time to pull this 42-hour fasting through I need a better mindset! I am setting forth my intention and believing I can do it. I can! I will keep this blog posted. In the back of my mind I will always think I have made a commitment to my blog so I have to stay strong.
