Cravings after your Carbups?

OK, all you NHE, CKD and TKDers, I have a question. Do you have to deal with cravings after you do your carbups? When you return to low carbing after carbuping, do you crave more carbs? Or is it relatively easy to get back into the low carb thing?

I've been doing CKD for quite some time and as long as I end my carb-up at bedtime, I have never had a problem with cravings after going back to keto the next morning. If I tried to stop the carbs mid-day I would crave ALL evening long!!

I don't get any cravings but then this week was only my second carbup meal. I'll let you know if this changes.

I do!

NHE carbups are at night... I'm very full when I go to bed but usually wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
The next day I can tell that I'm craving carbs. It pretty much goes away by the second day LCing.
I don't really mind it and I think the more carbs I eat during the carbup... the more I get cravings the next day. Probably has to do with insulin.
I try to eat more fat than usual the next day since excess protein can stimulate insulin secretion.
