[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 332455, member: 47233"] Yeah ... you just know when you've had enough eggs don't you? Same with meat, fish and fats. In fact I find with low carb, every word they say in the books is true ... it's carbs that make you feel hungry for more carbs but protein and fats don't have that [b]'I must have more'[/b]because they satiate the appetite rather than stimulate it. Since low carbing I can't [b]'overdose'[/b]on food any more. Last night I started re-reading a book called [b]'The New High Protein Diet[/b]by Dr Charles Clark and Maureen Clark. It was the first book I bought after diagnosis and I just skimmed through it, got the gist and started low carbing because instinctively I knew that was the right way to go for me. Now I'm reading it thoroughly and everything he says about how the cravings for carbs disappears once you cut them out, how the appetite regulates itself quite quickly ... is true. That's exactly what's happened to me and I'm gobsmacked by it still, because I really was a total carboholic even though I [b]knew[/b]I felt better if I ate more protein, I continued to eat carbs because ... well ... that's what we do. A plate looked odd without a dollop of mash. A meal wasn't complete without a sponge pud with custard, a cup of tea wasn't the real deal without a scone or a nice cake or biscuits ... and of course I'd feel awful afterwards and eat even more because I wasn't [b]nourished[/b] because I'd filled up on carbs and not enough fat or protein. So now I'm in the fortunate position of [b]eating only when I'm hungry and knowing when I've had enough[/b]and having the calmest digestive system ever known to mankind! And for the very first time in my life [b]I feel I am controlling my food, my food isn't controlling me.[/b] Long live chickens and their chukky eggs and thank you God or Universe or Divine Planner of all things Cosmic for showing us how to eat according to our Divine Nature. :D Well it is Sunday ... and I like to give credit where it's due. :wink: [/QUOTE]
