I don’t miss carbs.

I thought I was missing out. I thought I couldn’t live without you. So I gave you another chance last night. Guess what, we are through for good. Carbs you make me feel bloated and lousy. We are done.

Same here. Don’t miss them at all.

LOL - I have the exact same response to carbs. Every so often (like, maybe twice a year) I feel like a carb binge. Pizza or whatever. So I eat it. Mostly, though, I end up thinking "uggghh I really didn't want that" right afterwards because I feel bloated and sleepy.

Oh don't I gave in to a chocolate coated icecream lolly on a stick from the local Co op today! I regretted it immediately, but it did taste good. The first since last summer. My brain is a traitor.

I’m so heartened to hear you say that ☺️I tried a small roast potato last week as my OH was really proud of them. Regretted eating it pretty quickly 😔

I feel exactly the same! Still feel compelled to do it every once in a while though 🤔

I'm the outlier here. I like carbs, and I miss them from my diet. I can live without them, but I wistfully walk past boulangeries and sushi restaurants. I sometimes dream of bread and butter.

I haven't noticed any adverse reaction to them either. I ate 2 hot x buns on Good Friday and 2 on Easter Sunday, and the only lingering effect was the pleasure of the memory.

Lock-down here in Spain = want choc and cake .... wasn't bothered before but now eating lots ..... think I'm only saved by not eating em til after 9pm ..... ah at least I know what I'm doing wrong so (hopefully) easy to put right when back to normal (whatever that will be!) x

I don't miss carbs in general. I can't pinpoint how many months after starting keto I became indifferent to them but nowadays, when I see pastries, pies, bread, French fries, etc, I truly do not feel any attraction. They're all the same color, I am aware of the content and I know they are worthless.

However, a word of warning: I did indulge on New Year's eve (spur of the moment decision) and had a piece of chocolate cheesecake. I hadn't had carbs except very little in vegetables for many months and about 24 hours later acne showed up on 2 areas of my face. I was also sluggish the next day. It was 100% not worth it.

I do not recommend cheat meals/days at all.

Hello Lili.

I see you are new to Healthunlocked. It has truly terrible software, the effect is that if you reply to a 9 month old article this one, maybe no one will even see your post. I only saw it because I am making a special effort to see new posts in this group.

I would suggest you click the "write 🖋" at the top of the page, and start a new discussion on the same subject. I am all sure we'd love to comment. I am reflecting on how my attitude to carbs has changed since I wrote this (not much, but some), and I will join in the discussion if you start one.

Welcome.
