So what about when the binge is high fat, like cream? It doesn't have to be just carbs that are the rogues in binge behaviour.
Fortunately, I don't like solitary saturated fat enough to binge on it. Loads of unsweetened double cream on its own, no thanks. A little on a sugar -free jelly is fine. Clotted cream even. But cream in association with carbs, for example with jam on scone, the wonderful Cornish or Devon Cream Tea, is a no-no-never-never for me and I don't mind.
This is the key, I think, for me: satiated so that I RELAX and don't binge.
This is what stumped me about LCHF until I got used to the principles. Yes, I can have butter, but what can I have butter on? Toast? No. Sandwich? No. Cream I can have, but what do I have cream with? Sugar-free jelly, full-stop. Or a double espresso. In this way, LCHF is self-limiting - which is another good thing about it.
