It seems that, to my great annoyance, I may have to add chocolate to the list of things that are currently giving me the dry-boak. I got some chocolate chip cookies today in Morrisons at Partick. A little self indulgent, and hardly helpful to a man that’s supposed to be attemtping to improve his fitness, but I can’t really seem to resist the ocassional sweet. I’m thinking though, after having acid indigestion and a horrible stuffed up, bloated feeling that I might be better laying the hell off chocolate entirely from now on. Every time I have some recently it seems to have done two things.
Firstly it seems to spike the shit out of my blood sugar levels, but then it starts to crash fairly quickly. I’ve noticed it most often if I have a sneaky bar of chocolate out of the vending machine at work. The bar makes me hyper for about half an hour to an hour, and after that I get irritable, tired and start to get a headache which usually persists for the rest of the day. Secondly I get bad acid indigestion fairly quickly, and it drives me nuts. It’s right up there with the stupid effect that onions have been having on me, and the horrible reaction I get to almost all Indian food.
