[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1502871, member: 412001"] You raise a really good point: the demonstration of knowledge can only be done by gathering evidence. I'm a feedback loop type of person. I need something to demonstrate motion; to calibrate change. I've always had a weird dislike for (or fear of) being static and being able to fundamentally measure progress is something I'm finding intensely satisfying. And, of course, these rapid improvements will plateau out: there's a finite amount of weight to lose and a limit to how low you want your BG readings to get. At that point (I imagine), I'll be using the feedback loop to reassure myself that I'm still in control (another phobia of mine). I'm hoping, eventually, I'll just be in the habit of knowing what I can and can't eat so won't be spending quite so much time on DietDoctor and Tesco,com, but I will always track my carbs from now on, having been absolutely converted to the Low Carb "movement" (I don't know the word for a scientific collective). I'm already amazed by so many things - not least how little I want to eat in a day compared to what I was packing away just a month ago. I ate as many calories in the whole of last week as I would happily have eaten in a single meal. [/QUOTE]
