[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2160872, member: 401801"] It's not strange at all! Carbs are quick fuel, and a body is per definition lazy: if carbs are available, it'll use those to burn, because they're easy to process. Drawnback being, that they burn relatively fast, and then the body gives out signals that it's hungry again. Sometimes within an hour or two after having eaten. (Hence people talking about carb-addiction. It really is one.). If your bloodsugars even out a little, and your sugars don't spike, there's no resulting relatively large low... And no hunger trigger. :) Doesn't work for everyone, but... For the bulk, it does. :) it takes a little while to break the carb habit, but after a few days.... Not a problem. And after a bit longer you'll find your pallette changes too, so food ends up being more flavourful. :) Perks all around. ;) Edited to add: The MySugr app can be pretty close with its estimate, depending on how many measurements you enter. It's not going to be 100%, but a fair indicator. [/QUOTE]
