I have decided to record only significant changes woth noting from now on. Writing down what we eat is repetitive and 3 weeks of diet information should give you a good idea. If anything material changes from what you have seen to date I will record it. Once we start testing levels of BHB and possibly glucose I will include it.
Today Bryce had an OK day. He forgot some of his books at school despite being reminded of this and having it written in his homework book. Did point out the importane of bringing his books home. Lets hope this improves. |

Bryce had a good at school, he brought all his books home. Bryce went for his first swim since we got a new energy drink by a company called Generation UCAN, you can listen to Peter Attia's take on it HERE. It is basically a starch which was developed to keep insulin levels stable so is perfect for sustained energy without the highs and lows of using sugar for energy.

Mom has resorted to giving the boys chicken drumsticks for lunch at school. This has been met by unanimous approval by Bryce and Mitchell. The options are limited when trying to keep their dietary intake high while not packing in too much Insulin inducing substances. More swimming with Generation UCAN

My wife tells me my breath stinks. This is not an uncommon phenomenon with people on high protein diets. I will endeavor to eat less protein and take preventative measures.

Bryce had a good day. He played with Mitchell most of the day and was quite happy to take a nap when instructed to do so by his mom. He did however tell me that while I was out they were't napping but playing quietly in their room. He did not realise that his mom could overhear him while he was relating this story :-O

We went off to the market to take advantage of the early bird special breakfast. Can highly recommend the eggs and bacon. Spent the rest of the day at a client.

Do fizzy drinks cause behavioral changes in children??? Trouble is how can you ever prove or disprove this?
