My advice is ditch the carbs; but OK, the OP wants to put on weight, well the alternative is ditch the fat then; if you do nothing then the same situation will occur. There are consequences with going for the carbs though that include higher triglyceride levels, greater risk of obesity (which might be desired in this case but is hardly a normal dietary desire), and I would suggest harder blood glucose management.Additionally, the problem of the Pizza Effect is one constructed by eating carbs in the first place; if like me you keep them to a minimum then there is no obvious Pizza Effect.I know you like to eat a varied diet but you are on a pump with good access to blood testing strips so are in a good position to manage the consequences of that; not everyone is in that happy position.BestDillinger</blockquote>
