The Zero-Carb Shift: Engineering a New Body at 53

The "Main Cog" Trap The UK transport industry runs on pastry, energy drinks, and quick-fix carbs. For a night-shift driver, this is a recipe for insulin spikes, brain fog, and chronic fatigue. At 53, I realized that surviving on "dirty fuel" was no longer an option.The Structural Change I have moved to a permanent Zero-Carb, Zero-Sugar lifestyle. This isn't a "diet" or a temporary phase; it’s a total re-architecture of my biology. By removing the sugar cycle, I’ve switched the machine over to a more efficient energy source. 

The Data-Driven Results: 

Mental Clarity: The 04:00 AM "sugar crash" is gone. My focus remains constant from the start of the shift to the end. 

Physical Resilience: At 6'4", weight and inflammation management are key. Removing carbs has significantly reduced the physical "drag" on my system. 

Metabolic Stability: I no longer rely on the next snack to keep my energy up. My body is now a steady-state engine. 

The AI Advantage I’m using Google Gemini as my digital architect to monitor this transition. By pairing 24/7 AI analysis with a Zero-Carb protocol, I’m proving that even the most demanding shift patterns can be mastered with the right "build sheet." 

There is no going back. The old fuel system has been decommissioned.
