[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2353810, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I was never a calorie counter, or a dieter, or anything re nutrition and ways of eating pre diabetes. But I certainly notice a lot of that stuff now, unfortunately, in my attempt to get better. [USER=52527]@Dark Horse[/USER] - I don't know how many calories I normally consumed in the old High Carb-Low-Healthy-Fat days. But I was a hearty eater then and am a hearty eater now - I fill up my plate as high and as often at a buffet lunch now as I did then. But whatever the calories - the food I eat now keeps me normal-weighted. The old days it did not. And please - I hope you notice how healthy and normal I think being hungry is! I do not see being hungry as a bad thing. As I have noted many times in this forum - we would be a very sorry species indeed if we did not experience hunger, and seek to satisfy that need for nutrition and energy by seeking and eating food. Hunger, from my p.o.v. is not the problem! I personally did not eat excess carbs, especially in the context of fats, because of hunger for food necessarily, but because it tasted wonderful and made me feel happy whilst eating it. Commonly called emotional eating, or eating comfort food. I call it - our modern food environment. (ditto high-carb drinks.) We are 'hard-wired' to eat higher carb fruit and honey if available (and of course - fermented fruit!) when we came across it, as it was so rare. And healthy fats - of course. Healthy fat in relation to protein is not rare - it is the norm in the real-food world, is my understanding. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
