It's amazing how my body feels much better without carbs. This kind of thing really highlights the difference. I never had a moment when I felt low on energy, and on the way back just stopped for a packet of nuts. I did, however, get a pretty bad headache which incredibly I was able to address it with a Pepsi.
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
