Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kristin251" data-source="post: 1500332" data-attributes="member: 240838">I am not zero carbs but pretty darn close. Lately, I have no idea why, I'm not in the mood for veggies. I still chomp on one or two raw asparagus spears throughout the day. I do have to say my tummy loves it. I do still eat one avocado a day and a few macadamia nuts. That's about it for carbs. Oops, wine. I need to keep saturated fats low so there's my avocado.  I have about an ounce of cheese with a small pat of butter melted together with my wine. And I just recently switched from vodka to wine and of course see a little higher bs. Nothing a little shot of insulin can't fix. I think on zero carbs I would definitely need to watch my protein portions even more than I do now. I convert protein to bs just as fast as carbs. So for me that would mean replacing all carbs Cal's with fat but wouldn't be hard as I'm vlc to begin with. I've inadvertently gone lower carb with the adversion to veggies lately so other than avocado and wine I'm very close to no carb and I feel great. My stomach is much happier without all the veggies. I'm sure I'll go back but for now I'm just listening to my body.  With the slight higher rise your having maybe look at how much protein you're eating both at one time and by the end of the day. I use the .8g per kg LEAN body mass which gives me about 4-5 oz a day. I split that through the day. Any more than that's a few days later I start seeing higher readings. Just something to consider.</blockquote>
