## Why I Decided to Reduce Carbs

I wasn't following a trendy diet. I just wanted to avoid the energy crashes I often had after high-carb meals. My goal was to improve mental clarity and long-term health.

## The Benefits I Experienced

### Mental Clarity & Focus  

With fewer carbs, especially refined ones, I felt less foggy and could work with greater concentration.

### Steady Energy Levels  

Reducing blood sugar spikes helped me avoid the afternoon crash and stay productive longer.

### Reduced Inflammation  

While not measured scientifically, I noticed fewer aches and better digestion.

## What I Eat Now

During meals, I:

- Add more vegetables and healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil)  

- Focus on protein: eggs, tofu, or lean meat

For snacks and drinks:

- I go sugar-free  

- I check labels to avoid hidden sugars  

- I drink warm water, herbal teas, or carbonated water
