Right now I'm going through a headache and I think I know why...

Fruit.

I've been on Phase I of the South Beach diet for a little more than two weeks and today I am officially on phase II. I was allowed to bring fruit back into my diet, so I did. For one of my snacks I made myself a fruit smoothy.

Now if you don't know anything about this diet, the first two weeks runs like atkins. No fruit, no carbs, no sugar. Well, out of personal experience I know that once you do this for a while, the second you add any sugar back into your system, you're going to get a nasty headache. Fruit has sugar, sugar causes headache.

Enough said.

But out of experience, I also know that the lack of sugar caused one annoying problem with me; lack of endurance. When I would go out running, if I didn't have a little sugar in my system, I wouldn't be able to complete a full lap jogging. I also didn't do so well when I played DDR. It was like my focus wasn't there.

So now I've gotten rid of my excess sugar from my system and this whole thing of easing it back into my diet is somewhat painful, but necessary. They're not processed sugars, so I don't have to worry, and because I've added protein powder, flaxseed, and 2% milk, it slows the digestion process, which is what I'm looking for.

Oh, and if you're curious to know my progress in regards to this thing, you can check out my diet blog...
