[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1652973, member: 41816"] [USER=322755]@melliemars[/USER] Do you get carb cravings and/or food hangovers? One makes it very difficult to stop after 'just two days' and the other makes it easier to get back on the wagon because you feel so d**n grotty that you get motivated. One thing I will say is that I've seen several christmases on the forum now. Pre-Christmas there are excited threads planning all sorts of food delights. Then some people disappear from the forum (talking T2s here, because obviously T1s have a completely different experience with food and carbs, and can therefore probably not appreciate these experiences - unless they also have severe enough insulin resistance to get the cravings). Then some of the disappeared T2s straggle back, weeks or months later having fallen off the wagon and not been able to climb back on for weeks or months... Because the cravings got them. Others have their day or days off and effortlessly return to their normal way of eating. I guess we all have to decide what will work best for each of us. (Personally, i have found my carb tolerance. It took a long time to find it. Above it, i get cravings and spiral upwards and out of control. Below it I stay comfortable and in control) [/QUOTE]
