[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2611052, member: 93179"] Most of my life I've skipped meals (usually breakfast which I use to get scolded about as a teenager), but the only time I ever thought & felt that I [I]was[/I] actually starving myself was about 40 years ago - before diabetes - when I went somewhat unwillingly on a very low calorie diet for a short time and hated every moment of it! But[B] it was the hunger that diet caused that I hated not [I]myself[/I][/B]. Being diagnosed as T2 and starting to eat low carb was never much of a problem and I've rarely felt any real desperate hunger because I'm still getting sufficient nourishment from fat and protein (and a reasonable selection of low carb foods). I've always eaten normal full (not high) fat food most of which contains few if any carbs. My belief is that we've been conned into believing that reduced/ow/lite fat is better for us when actually a lot of the natural goodness has been removed from it, so making normal fat foods appear to be "high" in comparison.... o_O[B] :banghead:[/B] [/QUOTE]
