[QUOTE="curlyheadfreak, post: 89304, member: 10567"] I know what you mean, Serial... I'm certainly coming around to the low carb way of thinking as my post-prandial readings are coming right down (type 1 by the way) and I'm feeling a lot more stable in myself, but I am struggling with the calories big time! I am putting oil on all my salads, eating lots of avocado, I was eating a lot of nuts and seeds too but unfortunately I think I'm sensitive to them as I have noticed they start me itching and craving more and more and more so I've cut them out for a bit :evil: - but still I can't seem to get my calories anywhere near 2000 and I do quite a lot of exercise too. I eat til I'm full at every meal, but still...at the moment I'm eating a couple of pieces of fruit at each meal to get the calories up and I can't see how I'd manage without that if I wanted to cut the carbs further. I suppose if you eat until full does it matter necessarily if you're not getting the "recommended" amount of calories? I guess if your body wanted more it would still be hungry???? [/QUOTE]
