I think the same for me. I never ate much sugar ever...didn't grow up with it. Maybe my body doesn't "think" that the consumption of a sweet flavor means anything at all - I really don't buy the whole idea that your body "thinks" or whatever, what I mean is "responds" in a certain way.

If that WAS true, then people who used to eat FAT with SUGAR all the time would fail in low carbing...
consumption of FAT would then "trigger" insulin release in expectation of future consumption of sugar?

Impossible. I don't think I believe in these "triggers". Go get a glucometer and walk by a donut shop - the smell won't make your blood sugar/insulin levels go up. If it did, diabetics would be having problems all over the place!

But I DO believe that only the actual eating of carbohydrate WILL cause an increase in insulin...anyone have a glucometer willing to test this?
