I certainly experienced what I'd call carb addiction when I was doing the carb-and-exercise thing, and really needed to increase the exercise to compensate for the carbs and calories. Which is okay for a non-diabetic but not for me; I could keep the exercise up daily in terms of energy levels, but not in terms of lifestyle.I'm liley to need to go down the low carb route by the looks of things, so it's nice to hear that the occasional hit of carbs wouldn't be a distaster. I hope to get back into mountaineering next year, and just from a safety perspective, it would be nice to know I can be carrying a lot of fairly fast-acting energy with me! And so far that also seems to be a scenario where I can keep the spikes low, as I'll be using up energy shortly after the carbs.</blockquote>
