Listening to your body is a special skill... happy you're realizing what it's showing you. 

That is truly a skill! 👍 

for me, that is too much carbs. I try to keep my carbs below 5 percent and I don't count calories. when you drop the carbs then your body regulates your hunger properly . only lean people can eat that many carbs without putting on weight or slowing down their metabolism up. So far I'm down 71 pounds with another 10 to go. low to no carbs until I can see abs  

Yes same here, keep carbs way down, fats up and proteins moderate unless you are lifting weights and are trying to get bigger. Here are some video's Should I Count NET Carbs or TOTAL Carbs (Food Companies WON'T Like This) https://youtu.be/chSxo9dTv8I How to Stop Carb Cravings!

Chris, what is the “77?” 

So jealous of your metabolism!! 

Must agree. Complex carbohydrates are essential to sustainable weight loss. 

Protein builds muscle carbs bulk you up. 

Ahh, 77, the year I started teaching. Good year! 

Speaking of carbs, tis the season for Ghiradelli peppermint bark. Just stocked up. Still have Halloween candy (mounds bars) to work through, so between that and the peppermint bark, I should be set until Easter (Cadbury cream eggs!) and Valentine's day (chocolate covered caramels!). I love holidays. LOL 

369 Carbs! Holy wow!!!! I'd be flying back up the scale at that rate! 

Being a naturally smaller and thinner guy though I'm sure its effecting you totally differently though.  

Don't forget about de novo lipogenesis! Excess carbs and eating in a surplus can increase this...  

The demonizing of carbs continues. Focusing in their number instead of on total calories. It's physics people, carbs do not create extra energy from thin air. 

Also, congrats on getting the numbers dialed in, Chris! Feels good doesn't it? Knowing that as long as you're on top of them, you know what is happening and are in full control. 💪👍 

Just 💦💧 

Yes all we have to do is study our body and find out what portions of what foods we can eat to maintain, lose or gain weight 

Wingnut that about only lean people can eat carbs is a lie 

Lol I’m not trying to get big and I eat carbs, stop trying to brainwash people into low carbs boring diets 

U are just making them miserable and creating a bad habit of uncontrollable binge eating episodes
