[QUOTE="nannoo_bird, post: 1179872, member: 47216"] I may not be the first to mention this, but I have not seen it before. My brother (also T2) and I were talking about carbs and how it is difficult sometimes to get used to a carb-free diet when we have eaten carbs all our lives. My brother suggested that instead of looking longingly at a carb "treat" and feeling deprived, you tell yourself that you are "allergic" to carbs, or have an intolerance - which is true. So it would be like having celiac disease, but in our case we are intolerant to carbs. For me, it makes it easier to avoid carbs if I see them as "poison" for my system. So we need a name! [/QUOTE]
