When you find yourself eating too many carbs, what do you do to break yourself of the carb habit?

I don't generally pay much attention to carbs.  I worry about my protein intake and fat intake.  When I eat carbs, they are usually fruits, vegetables and whole grain choices.  The only time they give me trouble is if I choose to eat a cookie or something like that.  Then my sweet tooth gets turned on immediately.  But I keep those episodes to a bare minimum, they are planned, and once I eat the item, I don't let myself eat anymore.

If I go somewhere where I know I will be having carbs (like the wedding last weekend!), I try to eat extra cautious throughout the day and the following day.  It's all a balance system to me.  And most of the carbs I eat are healthy carbs anyway.

In the beginning, I ate almost exclusively protein and then gradually worked in some veggies.  Then, at about six months postop, I added a little bit of fruit and some whole grains.  Now that I am close to goal, I don't worry so much about it, but I do make sure I eat my protein, at least 3 ounces at each meal, first, then veggies, then carbs if I want them.  This way, my carb intake is very small.

This is the problem I've been having lately.  I was told by my doc and nut not to eat carbs anymore (to limit them drastically).  Ever since then, I've been craving them.  And if I give in, the more I crave them.  I'm hypoglycemic now and the more carbs I eat, the lower my blood sugar goes.  So that's why I'm supposed to limit them.  I'm trying so hard to not eat them, but some days find I can't shove enough down my throat (not literally, but feels that way).

I only eat good cards. I can not eat breads, crackers, chips ect because they get stuck so I really concentrate on my proteins!

I did the five day pouch test and that seemed to work for me.      Jules

When I "let go" and eat bad carbs, I usually spend the next two days going back to basics - strictly proteins and shakes...   that's the only way I can break the cycle!

I try to limit my carbs, but if I find myself eating too many, I go back to basics
