[Forum] Are You Carb Sensitive?
Saturday, October 3, 2009 17:30I’m very carb sensitive. In my case the symptoms presented as cravings, severe hypoglycemic symptoms, uncomfortable bloating, and steady weight gain over the years.
This means I must take care to eat lower glycemic load meals and snacks, and always eat some protein and monounsaturated fat along with carb foods, so that I maintain a steady blood sugar level without big spikes and drops.
I’ve been managing very well by following the Zone diet for the past 15 years. It’s fantastic to be finally free of the vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes, and hypoglycemic symptoms all day long. I feel great and have tons of energy. The cravings I had my whole life are a thing of the past. Another huge plus, as a result of eating the lower glycemic load meals of the Zone diet is, I have lost 100 pounds, and have maintained that loss.
Anyone else experienced something similar?
