I Have Sinned (I ate a peach)

Hey, peaches are a pretty LC choice as fruits go. You are allowed fresh
peach slices from day one of the Protein Power plan.

Yes, they are also allowed in phase two of South Beach. It was
just a big step for me....

Geez! What a sin. So you dared to eat a peach -- at least you didn't part
your hair behind, or wear white flannel trousers, or walk upon the beach --
now that would have been bad!

Hehe. Yes, my thoughts struck me as being sort-of humorous, which
is why I posted them!

That is the first big piece of fruit I have had since I started

had a few blueberries and raspberries.

"Do I dare to eat a peach?" I've been eating peaches all summer.
They're not a food, but a sensual experience that feeds my soul. I also
eat a lot of berries, but peaches must be a part of my summer.

Ah well, you have been LCing longer than I have been, so you have
probably added more carbs back into your diet. I haven't eaten
anything that is overtly carby since I started, though a peach is
nothing compared to pasta, rice, bread, etc.

I'm also not doing Atkins. I'm a diabetic and "eat to my meter." I
don't count carbs (that way leads to obsession for me, plus I don't need
to), just avoid carby foods, except I can eat a little if I'm about to
get some exercise. Like I had thin crust pizza for lunch today (minus
the edge) because I was going to be spending the next couple of hours
walking around stores.

I suppose you might consider me lucky, but if I didn't have diabetes, I
wouldn't be low-carbing at all atall.

Otherwise for lunch I tried making a pizza-type thing using a
portobello mushroom as a crust. (I either read about that here or
on some LC list.) That was decent, but not as good as the "pizza"
made with the nuked cheese instead of the crust. The mushroom
made the overall flavor less pronounced.

After reading the title, and then the post, is it any wonder why people
believe what they do about this way of eating?

I think youre my new hero. To be able to get a case of the crazies
and limit it to a peach. Last time I went off I didn't stop till I
had killed at least four brownies.

I'm having a *planned* carb cheat tonight
as a planned once a week cheat is the best way for
me to stick with Atkins.

My cheat? A *small* (as small as I could find) baked
sweet potato slathered in butter, sour cream
and bacon bits. :-)

I don't know if I consider you lucky. I also don't know what
final form my LCing will take. Since I am trying to lose weight
(~20 more lbs), I have a while to contemplate that. I DO know I
can't go back to wantonly gobbling carbs though. It also would be
nice if I could eat most fruits and veggies.
