[QUOTE="KookieMunchster, post: 2058446, member: 503975"] Hi Pam and welcome! I have found that for me, loosing weight was not the motivator in getting myself on Low Carbs. I just was more concerned with lowering the levels of my blood glucose and once you educate yourself on what that means , you begin to discover just how much hidden "sugars" there are in nearly everything that's made for our modern day convenience. Once I managed to lower my intake of sugar and carbs, the weight just started to fall off and it wasn't just my weight either. I do love fruit and what I miss is that regularity of being able to eat it at the end of meals or at the start of the day- and some fruit I avoid all together - but when you get your bs under dietary control I think you can find out where you might be flexible in that regard. Atleast for me that meant knowing how the things I ate affected my bg. This means developing a strategy by using a glucose monitor which I think is a worthwhile investment in order to get to know yourself better. It's also a way of thinking that needs to change in the sense that its not about eating the right things for a little while... it's about eating the right things for your long term health and wellness. I wish you all the very best for all there is to come and you're in good company :) [/QUOTE]
