I have adopted the WW philosophy and related it to low carb. Meaning, that I have a carb target of between 50-100g/day, and eat accordingly. If I want a high carb food, I have to see if it would make me go > 100. If not, I eat it. I then know that, depending on the grams, what I can eat the rest of the day. It is modified eating behavoir just like WW.

This approach may work of you don't have hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance. If you do, then eating even one high carb item, even if you keep your carb intake low for the rest of the day, will provoke an insulin response and only continue the insulin resistance because with those conditions, it's not the total amount of carbs you eat in a day that matters, it's the total number carbs (and their glycemic value) that you eat at one time. |
