[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 313814, member: 47233"] I'm new to LCHF eating so I did my research before I ate anything and looked at the carb content only before I ate anything. I then started testing my blood before and after meals to see what carbs make my BS high and I removed them all from my diet - bread, pasta, rice I just can't eat without getting sugar spikes. So to make life easier I just removed them. I've definitely overdone the protein eating in the first few weeks because I was afraid of feeling hungry without carbs so I dished out more protein than I actually needed and now, after a few weeks my body is telling me I can eat much less protein than I thought at first. So yes, the body will eventually regulate the appetite and no, we don't need to count calories, eat protein and fats freely and you'll soon find your own levels. But definitely keep a close eye on the carbs and how they affect you. I've lost just over 2lb since I started stuffing my face and I'm 98% sedentary at the moment due to other health issues I have going on. :) [/QUOTE]
