For years, I thought I was that way as well. Then I started gaining
weight. Now that I've been doing Atkins awhile, I understand why.
Many of the meals I like to make for myself are LC. In fact, I would
say I was naturally on induction 4 out of 7 days a week. To me, eating
as much as I wanted meant I would have a whole Wok of steamed
vegitables with alittle bit of meat. Certainly, there where times when
I would eat a whole pizza to myself, but that was undoubtably balanced
out by the rest of my food intake durring the month.

What changed? I got married and have a kid. My wife cooks many tastey
receipes that are not low carb, and I tried to have a "more balanced
diet". Hense the weight gain.

Now that I'm eating the foods I love and know how to prepare, I
dropping back down again.

Carbohydrate intake does lead to a healthier appetite (greater hunger).

Ime, fear of hunger is what leads to weight gain.

At His service,

Andrew
