[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1503766, member: 412001"] Hi [USER=412211]@Flair[/USER] ! Do you have a diagnosis of diabetes? Your profile says you don't, but maybe you didn't fill it in? Have a look at these two links: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-types.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/insulin-resistance.html[/URL] A low-carb diet helps people with diabetes because it lowers the amount of sugars going into the body and, therefore, reduces the amount of sugar available for our red blood cells to absorb. It can, over time, also help with weight loss as you're generally eating a healthier diet and because carbs (sugars) when not used for energy get turned into fat. When you limit your carb intake, your body starts burning fat for energy. Both rice and potatoes contain high amounts of carbs. If you have been eating those while on your diet - even while fasting intermittently - you probably haven't reduced your carb intake enough to feel its impact.
