I've found over the past few months that if I indulge myself in ANY starchy foods now, I get ill. The only exception is small amounts of canned or fresh corn (on the cob). Bread I know makes me ill due to the wheat proteins but I also cannot eat potatoes or rice anymore. Not even brown rice.
Last night I indulged myself in 1/2 of a bag of Act II popcorn.
Several hours later, I'm still sick from it. :-P
WTF?
Not that it's a bad thing as it'll force me to avoid allowing myself that kind of thing.
I was out of pork rinds and I had an attack of the "crunchies".
<sigh>

Could be.. I got the attack of the crunchies the other night so I had saltines with sardines.. paid for it with water retention. I really wanted cream cheese and celery but it was too late at night to go get it.

Hypoglycaemia? Or it could simply be that you've lost the enzymes to digest starches. Including ones you want to keep very gradually in small amounts might fix it.
funny.. I could have sworn I never said they where.. I paid the price.. no weight loss in over a week. Too much salt and too many saltines.. Though thankfully MY success does not depend on one cheat. Your life may spin off its axis but I learn from it and move on.

That was what I was thinking. I'm "normally" so strict, no starch at all.

DON'T EAT POPCORN!
Thank you.
<lol> I already know that. ;-)
I'll give the rest of the box away to Lynda and get it out of the house... She's skinny. She can use it!
Or I'll pop it all and feed it to the chickens....... -- Om.

I sympathize. Saltines were second only to chips for me in terms of my areas of carb overindulgence.

I don't know a lot about this, but Gretchen Becker in her Type 2 Diabetes book implies that.
I suspect you might need to decide what starches you actually want to keep in your lifetime WOE - whole grains and rye, perhaps? - and work small quantities back into your diet as you increase the carb levels.
Or I'll pop it all and feed it to the chickens.......

Assuming you're serious, have you done that before? Do they handle the hulls okay?
Thanks

This happens to me too. I call it the "carb hangover". Extreme lethargy, water retention, feeling of general malaise. The one and only time I tried to up my net carbs 15g in one day when moving into maintenance, the hangover lasted almost 72 hours.

That will take awhile but thanks! :-) With 75 lbs. still to lose, I have no business eating any starch at all. It was my bad to even do so. :-P
I'm also on Metformin and Thyrolar........

Chickens and ducks have no problems with popcorn. :-) I've given it to them before when some dumbass gives me one of those gift cans of 3 flavored popcorn for Christmas!
Yeah, I'm serious. They would enjoy it as a treat!
Most likely tho' I'll just give the rest of the box to Lynn' for her and her kids. They can handle it just fine and it will be out of the house that way.
I just won't buy anymore... -- Om.

Fortunately, I have Rx diuretics for fluid retention. I have to be careful with them tho'!
Torosemide is powerful stuff...
