[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1193260, member: 88961"] [USER=123610]@mojo37[/USER] and [USER=223593]@Michael2457[/USER] - Many, many people find carbs to be addictive; the more they have, the more they want.

Some find the same with carbs, or certain types of carbs, and it's so common it has been given a name. :) It's often referred to as Carb Flu. If you think you may have experienced it, it's worth doing a little reading on the subject. Michael, fro a personal perspective, I wouldn't like to be going up to 10, even after meals. I like to be a bit lower than that, and thankfully I have been able to achieve that by trimming back my carbs. Maybe I was fortunate not to have any disturbing reaction that affected how I felt or what activity I could undertake. Clearly each of us has to find our own way forward with this. [/QUOTE]
