[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1560473, member: 240838"] I am thin and have been the same weight give or take a few pounds ( except the blip before DX when I was grossly skinny) for 25 years. My diet has changed many times but has remained low carb ( 20g or less) since Adkins came out. Only type 1 for 3 years but I suspect diabetic for many years previous. So other than vlc the one thing that remained constant was small ' lean cuisine' sized meals and nibbling. I never had bowl of nuts, large chunks of cheese, bacon grease, chicken skin, loads of yogurt, stacks of cheese etc. I will say when I ate lots of protein I was heavier. Meals consisted of SOME protein and veg. Could probably fit into a one cup measuring cup. Snacks would be one or two nuts. Seriously. Or some raw veg. I remember bf for a long time being one fried egg with a piece of melted cheese. Then lunch a chicken leg or thigh or chopped chicken with mayo but I would just have a few bites. Dinner was half a chicken breast or small burger with a small salad and some steamed veg. Then a nice walk after dinner. Usually a power walk after bf. So I still eat often but it's more a few bites of something than a meal. Gives my stomach time to digest before I shove more food in. Now I look at plates coming out of the kitchens at restaurants and wonder how people can eat all that food!! I'd be sick to my stomach. And they'd order these after appetizers!! Good grief! And we wonder why the new normal is bigger. Who needs all that food!! [/QUOTE]
