How I feel on day 1 of NoStarch

[Grouptose]

Today I didn't eat any starchy carbs, I ate beef meatballs with mangos this morning, and I had tangerine juice after. I feel different, like a weight being lifted off my brain. This is similar to how I felt on the keto diet, but it's even better because on keto there were side effects like severe demotivation, numbness and boredom. Now I have all of the benefits of keto, but I don't have the negatives of it. So maybe all these people saying they feel better on a low carb diet are really just saying that they feel better on a low STARCH diet. It seems like carbs are not the problem, rather it's the type of carbs (in this case starch)

It's really hard to explain how I feel, but it's like this sort of bliss. I feel zoned out but focused at the same time, and a lot of the noise in my brain seems to be turned down. I'm guessing that the starch I was eating was feeding endotoxin and raising serotonin, because I'm getting a whole host of low serotonin symptoms. I don't know if I'll avoid starch forever because it's hard to do with all the people who eat starch in my household, but I'll probably eat starch later in the day instead of in the morning so that I can feel this good during the day and tired/apathetic in the night.

When I eat starch I notice that my brain feels like something is stuck inside it and I'm about to explode at any minute, that's what seems to be gone right now.

What kind of starchy carbs did you eat before? Don't meatballs contain bread crumbs?

Before I ate white rice and sweet potatoes. And no the meatballs don't have bread crumbs

Probably have to make your own to get what you want. I think the bread/rice is use as a binding agent

But how much? If it's under a gram of carbs in a serving or what have you, that little starch is probably not an issue.

I didn't check the grams but it still has rice so I don't want that to get in the way. I'm avoiding it

I make my quick and easy meatballs with gelatin instead of starch. Here is a link to my recipe....

Thanks for digging that up! I will try it the next time I buy oranges - that would still be better than consuming it without trying to get the wax off....

Making meatballs can literally be as easy as taking minced meat and rolling it into a ball, then put in the oven and throw cream and salt in there at the end. You can make 20 meatballs in 2 minutes
