    Hi, I read about it, but can't see any reason to cycle them. Once you get rid of them from your diet, you don't need them at all. I mean processed carbs and wheat, I eat fruits of course, and there is enough sugar ( at least for me ). Some days I eat no fruits at all, and nothing bad happens.

    :) I'm a low carber. I have some serious insulin-resistance going on, if I so much as look in the direction of a piece of whole-grain bread my blood sugar goes insane. Low carb works for me, and works well. I had lost 50+ lb. on it while at uni, but then I met my husband and started eating carbs again...so now I have quite a bit to lose.

    I'm finding it a bit more difficult this time around as I don't like eating "food science" -- artificial sweeteners, chemically-processed foods, packaged things. With a one-year-old in the house, healthy, fast low-carb meals do take some doing! I have resorted to a few artificially sweetened items but there are studies that say they can impact your blood sugar as well, and I think there's probably some truth to that.

    Anyway, hi!
