[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2323815, member: 480869"] I’ll be honest and agree I never felt a rush of energy going low carb. But I gradually felt less “hit the wall” exhausted. It wasn’t a dramatic revaluation. A gentle subtle change. I still yearn for sugary stuff sometimes too but it isn’t the craving it used to be. So not everyone transforms and never has urges again. Though I do enjoy the food. What specifically do you not like and what do you specifically miss? You are missing sugar rushes by the sounds of hit. The hit of a glucose high. As you say the crash afterwards isn’t so much fun It’s been a common theme in many of your posts since the start of your journey. What I mean in terms of mindset is you still resent diabetes and resent the foods you eat and the effects it has on your career. Now I’m not saying that’s undeserved resentment, anyone could be angry but ultimately making peace with it and finding ways for it to be less intrusive into life is more beneficial to you. You are choosing to eat these foods etc because it’s the option you have decided is best for you and the alternatives are worse in your mind for you. You are choosing to make time to stop and buy fresh foods because you don’t want to fuel on junk which ultimately makes you feel worse. See the difference take on the same situation? Perhaps you need to revisit which low carb foods you are choosing. It might help you enjoy it more. In my earlier months I felt nauseous if I ate too much fat in one go and needed to space it out and not have too much of particular types together. Maybe worth considering. Do you still count carbs? Check labels of anything new? Test regularly? Is there the possibility of carb creep if not? Do you try new foods? Create variety? Bulk cook for those cant be ***** days? Treat yourself a nice steak sometimes (or whichever low carb thing does float your boat)? Anything that makes it feel less of a punishment really. [/QUOTE]
