Rods, it looks like your eating plan has worked well for you, and that's the main thing! I was just wondering, so figured I had to ask, LOL.

I just hate going to bed at night and will do nearly anything to avoid that, and I'm not even sure why! I've been that way my whole life.

I used to go to bed to keep from eating but that was before low carb woe became a part of my life. Now, I do not believe in NOT eating. I eat a low carb snack at night if I am hungry. It almost always has protein in it such as macadamia nuts ( when they are on special ). Before, If I did eat at night, it would be a bowl of Lays potato chips and a bowl of Oreos. Then I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling awful because my insulin would spike, sending my glucose levels down. When this happens, I must eat more to lower my insulin.

So...with a lc lifestyle, not only do I eat when I am hungry, I eat the right things regardless of the time of day.

I thought I would reply to this thread since that is what I am doing right now, going to bed to avoid eating. Both my husband and mother in law are eating something right now but I'm not hungry and I've learned how easy on this diet it is to not eat if you are not hungry!
