I haven't spiked over 140 mg/dL in like forever.. used to be over 300 mg/dL all the time.  I no longer crave any carbs believe it or not.  Even easier since my insulin levels are down because I only eat in a 6 hour window each day.. the other 18 hours are a fast.  I never feel any hunger any time of the day.  LCHF was challenging only for like the first couple days.. after 40 days of that I started the 18:6 LCHF (intermittent fasting low carb hi fat diet) .. the first 3 days of that were rough, but homemade chicken broth fixed that .. after 3 days.. no hunger ever.  I have a new relationship with food.  All emotions that were tied to it are almost gone.  When I eat after an 18 fast.. I tend to do it quite slowly actually because I'm not very hungry.  I feel like I stuff myself in that 6 hour window, with a 3 pounds per week weight loss diet.  In reality I could probably very easily go another 24 or 48 hours without eating and never be hungry.. It's so interesting.  My body happily burns fat.  But for now I am just keeping it at 18 hours fast per day because I need to take some meds with food each day like Metformin and some others.</p></blockquote><p></p>
