Good Morning. Carbs are evil let us count the ways

Thanks....I eat way too much fruit - especially this time of year.  I need to limit my consumption.  For years I was a fat counter, so I think fruit gave me a false sense of security.  It has only been since I began this journey was I cautioned about limiting carbs.

Vitalady wrote in my reply that we only gain weight from sugar.  (keep in mind she wrote this a few years ago..I haven't talked to her since).

She also wrote that she only has 6g of sugar per meal.

That is good to know.  I assume she is still doing well.  I remember  a year or so ago her husband was ill.  I hope they are doing well.  I rarely see her online - though I know she uses other sites for Vets as well.

I have found that fruit makes me very hungry.  I do better keeping with veggies like green beans, tomatoes,etc.

Carbs just lead to more carbs....  too bad I need some to keep my hypoglycemia at bay.

And your comment about good, fast and cheap - I'm not so sure about good.  They taste good, but how good are they for you???  I read somewhere that there was an increase in obesity during the depression (yes, when people did not have enough to eat).  Carbs were cheap, so the percentage of carbs rose in many diets, and the result was obesity.

Yup, EVIL, good or bad!!!  After stinking up my house I finally figures out why.. carbs!    I am even avoiding the fruit this year and for me that is tough...

Thanks for the reminder.

Some believe all things in moderation, but when I allow the wrong kind of  carbs, my weight jumps up.  That is where I am now, and these extra pounds have to go.
