I know that keeping a daily journal helps me; I believe I would have weighed twice as much at my peak if I hadn't had the almost life-long journal habit.
Hi and welcome K-turtle. Yes, it is aggravating that even the things we've been told are good can be a problem for those of us with insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia/reactive hypoglycemia. If I start with carbs I crave constantly. It's the only area of my life where I've not had excellent will power, which tells me that it's about a whole lot more that just will. It boils down to being hypersensitive to carbs; just our bad luck. My dad, on the other hand, eats sweets rarely, and has no craving for carbs; just his luck. It could be a whole lot worse, is how I have to think about it.

I was a sugarbaby; meaning since I was born I was given lots of sugar, and ate lots of processed foods, especially sweets until I was into my thirties. Most people in the west were/are sugarbabies.

I'm back! After a break, due to a number of legitimate reasons, I'm back at my blog and checking in to MDA. This latest "pizza is a vegetable" bs has gotten me fired up again. I have to wonder if the depiction of humans in the movie Wall-e isn't truly going to be our future if more people don't figure out that we are not designed for all this sugar.

It's all about the continuum; some can eat that many carbs, but others like me cannot. I would gain tremendous amounts of weight on that many carbs. I'm glad you can handle it. I could have too when I was in my twenties, but add a 2-3 decades and the story can change. My dad will always be a very thin person who can eat carbs to no effect, but I didn't get that genetic benefit. I'm surprised MS has varied from the primal message to include rice.
