Carb shortage
After a discussion with a friend at GDC (and you know who you are), I've decided to have a go at the low-carb thing to lose a few pounds.
This is problematic because it cuts a couple food groups from my diet entirely. Of course, by food groups, I don't mean the ones you learned about in school, but those by which I've divided my own spectrum of sustenance. In order of priority, these are:
- Caffeine.
- Pork products.
- Foods containing complex carbohydrates, processed sugar, and fat. Ideally, fried. (This delicious Venn diagram intersection includes things like doughnuts. Mmm... doughnuts... and cake. Mmm... cake). I know it's covered by 4,5,6, but I think it deserves it's own group.
- Carbohydrates. Yes, dammit. It's a food group.
- Sugar.
- Fat. The more the better.
- Other meat products
- Chocolate. (And not poor quality chocolate, which is not edible. period)
- Fried grains/breads/tubers
- grains/breads/tubers
- Stuff lemurs eat (fruit, insects)
- Stuff rabbits eat (lettuce, carrots, other insects)
So, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10, are all off the menu. I'm doing a little bit of 11/12 (minus insects) but mainly to cleanse the palette between varieties of pork products.
Wish me luck!
[I'd have drawn this into a nifty diagram but I'm a little woozy right now as my DDI (doughnut digestive index) is low so I'm not up to it.]

What's worked (and is still working) for me is not exactly low-carb, though there is plenty of protein involved. Basically, you just cut out...
1) sugar,
2) refined carbs (white flour),
3) starch (potatoes, corn).
What's left is...
1) protein,
2) low-carb vegetables,
3) fruit,
4) whole grain carbs (brown rice, whole grain flour).
With this combo of foods, I feel better than I ever have.
At the store, the percentage of packaged goods I buy has dropped precipitously (although Triscuits are whole grain - yay!).
The biggest hurdle was internalizing the idea that it isn't a finite diet, but a permanent lifestyle change. A nice fringe benefit is that it has removed the concept of guilt.
Bonne Chance!
