[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1052362, member: 240838"] I stopped wheat and all grains many many years ago. I have a cabinet full of appetizer plates and bowls. It is the only way my meal doesn't grow. I have heard many times meals should not exceed 350 cals but I don't ever count cals. I imagine they are around 250-300 consisting of 80% fat. I think the macro part is more important for me.. I somehow naturally always end up with 5% C, 15% P and 80% fat. These ratios are the only way I feel satisfied. I have tried less veg, more veg, less fat, more fat,less P, more P and I am hitting the fridge until my macros are satisfied. No carb foods that are high in calories still raise us. They still require some sort of balance between insulin and BS. High fat foods elicit a very small insulin response and don't directly raise BS however a high fat diet creates insulin resistance. So you may not come down as fast or you may just stay high. In my personal experience (as well as reading studies) I found saturated fat to cause the most issues and mono fats much less so. It is all such a delicate balance but once we find the balance things fall into place better. That is exactly why I have the exact same BF and L. If I mess up BF the whole day is shot. [/QUOTE]
