The husband, every now and then, does things that make new laws come into being. The latest is a low-carb diet.
Here’s the problem. We are vegetarians and apart from cutting up a kilogram of vegetables and making ‘kootu’ or drinking a gallon of ‘sambhar’ for breakfast; there is little else a low-carb diet has to offer a South Indian vegetarian who is okay with eggs. Then, there is another thing. Low carb is okay, but it should be along with high fat. Pretty soon, I was laying on the ghee to the vegetables, the butter to the eggs etc. It worked out well – he did lose weight and feel good about himself.
But I hadn’t worked in the Law of Conservation of Body Weight into the equation. (You know like the Law of Conservation of Energy ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy)
You see? I am not doing the low carb diet. I am having my regular share of carbohydrates (and let’s face it a little more because I am not accurate when it comes to measurements and with one completely veering off the carbs and self not wanting to waste too much food, I am taking the brunt with the high carbohydrates)
I am also doing the high fat diet. I can’t possibly fry vadas and pakoras and not pop a few in my mouth? You know? To taste and make sure that the best alone make it to the husband. The ‘Noble wife’ act.
So, here I am on a high-carb and high-fat diet.
I am hoping that this too shall pass and I shall laugh my extra fat away with his next adventure.

LOL 🙂
The only difference I can make out, is that the girl is wearing a see-through dress in the before diagram 🙂 LOL . Hawaiian style..a ???
Ayyo Chocha – that is my bad diagramming! Did not have the patience to rub out the black lines after drawing the skirt!
Hello there, just became alert to your blog through Google,
and found that it is really informative. I am going to watch out for
brussels. I will be grateful if you continue this in future.
Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
Fat is very satiating , especially when paired with low-carb eating. Grass-fed pot roast, ribbed with yellow fat, connective tissue, and ample protein is far more filling than some crusty bread spread with butter. You’ll eat a decent slice of the former and be done, but you could easily polish off half a loaf of the latter with half a stick of butter and still be hungry. It’s difficult to overeat on a high-fat, low-carb diet.
