I've got it!

For the past week, I've been keeping Passover as best I can, avoiding beer, any grain-derived foods that are not kosher for Passover, and corn syrup. And even though, quantitatively, I haven't been eating less than usual or exercising more, I seem to have lost a couple of pounds.

Personally, I think it's cutting out the corn syrup. Passover ends tomorrow, but I think I'll continue to avoid corn syrup, as much as I can. Of course in this country lots of foods are made with the stuff, so maybe by avoiding them I'm eating less than I thought. Or it's just that corn sugar is an even simpler carbohydrate than pure cane sugar.

Well, this seems to be working, so maybe I will keep it up. No corn syrup. We'll see how that goes. I do still plan to have a pasta dinner after Passover has finished tomorrow night, though.

On a totally unrelated note, I am now plaing Zhaan ([livejournal.com profile] azure_mercy) at [livejournal.com profile] milliways_bar! I'm very excited, especially since I have plots or at least encounters planned with various other characters there. Especially the most fucked-up ones. Zhaan is good for that kind of thing.
