[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 1576152, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=4]Hi justbe. This may be the wrong place, indeed, to talk of insanity and craziness for going low carb by any way of eating (WOE). Many local pubs would be a good place :), in my experience. But even my groovy local pub would never call my WOE experiences insane or crazy. At least not to my face! :). But a way of eating can absolutely include zero carbing (nutrition via animal products only), as well as other ways of low-carbing. And you absolutely [I]can[/I] be doing a new way of eating without calorie counting. Once your appetite hormones are balanced, one assumes (without excess carbs, additives and chemicals, trans and bad fats etc) it is the experience of many long-term low-carbers one does not 'overeat'. How to eat huge amounts of meat? Olives? Cheese? Even more-ish nuts. And I say this as a person with what used to be called a hearty appetite - now I would just say I love to eat and love food. But my calorie count, when counted, was much lower than I thought it would be, as someone who loves to eat good food. And has been as long as I have been low-carbing. But we have different genes, body types, cultural and food backgrounds. What works for one, does not work for everyone. (A wonderful common theme on this forum.) I was reading today about individuals and ethnic groups who have an extra vegetable-eating allele (don't ask me to describe what that is!), that makes getting nutrition from vegetables, and from all-plant-matter diets much better and easier for them - which is the point. Some people respond very well to High Carb (from plant matter) Low-Fat diets, as diabetics even, apparently.
