So the subliminal I have been using from elsewhere for body fat composition, I think that’s working. And I suspect maybe ZP tech is speeding it along, too.
I have a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. I went over a year without even doing anything about it.
Too lazy, didn’t care.
Just last week, something clicked in me. I still have soda I had before, where I was drinking 2, 3 or 4 cans per day. Sometimes even more.
Last week, that just suddenly came to a stop. I remember sitting at the kitchen table on the laptop, and realized “I haven’t had soda in 3 days!”
And it wasn’t even a thing of discipline or being strong about it. I just never even thought about it during those times. It’s as if I shifted on an identity level without realizing it (which is what ZP does I think).
I think ZP took up the cause with the stuff from the BF sub to help it along.
Another thing that happened later last week is I suddenly felt like going to get test strips for my glucose meter.
No hemming or hawing about it. I got up and said to the wife, “I’m going to Walmart for test strips. you need anything?”
Came back and tested…it was 397 (where “Normal” is 80-100 range depending who you ask).
That hit me hard. Testing daily is one of those things I hadn’t done in over a year, as mentioned above.
You know how people get a swift kick in the ass like with a heart attack and that’s the impetus to change their lifestyle and diet? This was kinda like that, BUT the difference is I wouldn’t have known the number if not for the subliminals doing their thing FIRST.
The reason the 397 hit me hard is my daughter and her guy are getting married next year. Seeing that 397 made me suddenly realize I need to get my poop in a group so I can be here (as in alive) for that.
I have had very little struggle in terms of craving food I “can’t” have. I realize I can have “good” stuff on occasion, just not daily like before.
I’ve had only 0-calorie drinks since August 1 (the day I did the 397 reading)…so really this all started 3-4 days prior to that. Only drinking tea, water, and coffee (black except for a cup of buttery coffee today).
I would say my portion sizes have dimished (since I am eating way less volume of food). But really, my actual food choices have changed.
Now I get the Crepini egg wraps (12 in a package) and put stuff on there like sausage pieces, bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, and a tiny handful of black beans for carb intake.
I’m eating less in terms of food per meal, but also have shrunk my variety down a lot for now.
Doing as Dr. Barry Sears describes in terms of using food as you would a drug.
My eating is a lot more intuitive now, too. As far as noticing when I’m actually hungry thirst masquerading as hunger.
Which reminds me! With my new work doing deliveries for Amazon Flex, I would go pee at the depot before our official loadout time starts, just in case. And I’d have to pee again in an hour or less. a LOT of pee too. Common symptom with diabetes, because the kidneys are working overtime to flush excess glucose out of the blood.
Ever since this shift happened, I don’t need to pee nearly as often, because my blood sugar is actually in the “Normal” range (even in mornings when it’s generally a bit higher) for the first time in a few years!
It’s been 12 days or so in total, and where my blood sugar was 200+ a lot of the time, it’s routinely under 90 now each time. Even after eating!
Life is fantastic. Subs are amazing tools.
