2. I had the same problem

I've gone low-carb and it's definitely changed how I feel. In fact, I think it reset my body in some form - I went off it around Christmas and didn't have my normal sugar highs and lows, and I felt full sooner and wasn't starving an hour later. After Christmas I went back on low-carb. I fall off the wagon from time to time but it's like eating low sugar so consistently means that when I DO have sugar, my body knows how to respond to it again. It's probably like any addictive substance - you build up tolerance over time. The weird thing is though, unlike other addictive substances, now when I eat sugar I want to puke instead of wanting more...

I don't own a scale but I've been asked recently if I've lost weight so I guess it's working. Congrats to you too and your new no sugar lifestyle!

Totally agree. I've experienced much the same.... NRaleighLiberal Jan 2012 #1
