[QUOTE="World Hereafter, post: 354192, member: 52158"] [color=#4000BF]hi Sid, would you mind letting us know how many carbs you eat, roughly per day? Especially interested in how many you ate when you were losing the weight? Many thanks![/color] Sorry, edited as I meant to add my thoughts... I'm no scientist so can't comment on the weight gain issue as a fact or not.. but I DO know from personal experiences and careful diet/BG/Carb counting, that carbs DO increase my BG levels, more than any other food. I also know that in the weeks when my carbs are very well controlled and under 100g daily, I lose weight; but when the carbs totals are between 100-150g, I dont lose weight, just maintain. If I eat over 150g, I put weight on (I know this for fact as I did it at Christmas and again over a birthday weekend recently... those extra carbs can make the difference of up to 3lbs extra weight for me in one week!).
