Hi Capester

I don't think this way of life works on saving up your carbs and then expending them on one nights binge! Nice though the thought may be.

My little lecture is to say that this way of life works by controlling your bodies insulin production. It is increased carbs that stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin. Each time you put food in your mouth insulin is produced, but the harmful amount is around one and a half hours later if all the sugar has not been mopped up by the first bit. That is why you can not save up those carbs. You do need a reasonable level each day and I would encourage you to keep near 20 or more grams a day.

Anyway enjoy your drinking, something I very seldom do!
