[QUOTE="StewartH, post: 1387226, member: 125907"] Hi Pearcam I changed onto a LCHF diet a little over a year ago. Lots to say about this but the bullet points are: [LIST=1] [*]I feel so much stronger, fitter and in control of BG's. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]my feelings of hunger are transformed. I don't get hungry in the same way but very occasionally (a couple of times a week perhaps) I do get a subtle desire to eat something which I think is my bod asking for fuel, so I have a fatty snack or a meal. [*]I now often go without breakfast. I just take a tiny amount of Novorapid (3 units or so) to deal with the dawn phenomenon and keep my BG level 'flat line' while I get on with my day. This is liberating and I do not feel I am imprisoned by the need to eat. I eat when I feel like it. I agree with Lizdeluz when she mentioned above [I]'The addictive effect of a high-carbohydrate diet . [/I] Why does an overweight person crave carbs when they are carrying so much body fuel around their waist? This does not make sense until you consider the possibility of 'addiction'. [*]I have halved the amount of short term insulin taken! Now 12U per day. Basal has stayed the same at 14U. I still get BG level excursions if I underestimate or over estimate carbs or insulin but as the quantities of both are so much smaller the excursions are smaller too. [/LIST] Thanks for a great thread.... [/QUOTE]
