[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2422411, member: 506169"] All the carbs in your breakfast that will give you a blood glucose spike. Despite the Porridge satisfying for longer than refined carbs would, the subsequent blood glucose drop will inevitably make you feel hungry again. - Its a vicious cycle: Too many carbs => Too high BG => Lots of insulin produced => Rapid BG drop =. Hunger => Too many carbs. The other problem is that crash diet programs are: Not sustainable either: 1). you run out of will power (it is a finite supply, nobody has unlimited will power). or 2). You starve yourself of at least some nutrients. And 3). After you have done a crash diet your resting metabolic rate adjusts downward. This means it take less calories than before in order to put back the same amount of weight. So each time it gets harder! Take control by counting carbs instead of calories. When I first went Low Carb I was actually consuming more calories not less, because I was eating eggs, full fat greek yogurt and full fat cheese every day! Yet I still lost weight. [/QUOTE]
