[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 353685, member: 31282"] We are all different, and some of us can tolerate more carbs than others - and I don't mean just for blood glucose levels! I've found that I will put weight on if I eat over 70g carb a day. It doesn't go on quickly at that level, but slowly and steadily. Other people can eat much more than that. In my pre-diabetic days I ate high carb/low fat like a good girl, just as I was told. Result? - 22stone 4lbs. Even on 1000 cals per day I was not losing weight - you can get an awful lot of carbs in 1000 calories. On a very-low-carb/high fat diet I can eat 2000 calories or more and not put weight on. Mind you, I hardly ever get up to that calorie level because low carb/high fat fills me up and keeps me feeling full. :D We are all different! Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
