Don't be a junkie.
http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2012/07/doped/#comments "Just as the sleazy drug dealer selling you your next hit of crack or heroin profits from your continued addiction, so Big Food acts as your opiate dealer in the wheat exorphin world of addiction. And, just as the drug dealer knows you will be back, else you will suffer withdrawal, sweating, hallucinating, finally begging for your next hit, so Big Food knows you will be back within hours as you begin the exorphin withdrawal process—tremulous, cranky, and foggy . . . until you get your next hit of a bite of pretzel or bread." -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |

Back in the day Dr Atkins phrased this as "One bite can hurt you". Many have taken this statement to the opposite extreme and stayed lower in carb than necessary. That tends to lower cortisol and cause bad moods. That tends to cause tempation to cheat. It sets up a bad feeback loop. Low carbing, like any other plan, is at best dynamically unstable. Low carb for many is easy to stay on. That fact tempts people to think it's hard to fall off. It never gets hard to fall off. And it stays hard to get back on. |
