LadyIvy 159 Posted October 26, 2011 I heard people in my WLS group yesterday refer to themselves as carb sensitive. What does this mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samnyc 5 Posted October 26, 2011 It means that they are more likely to gain weight if they consume a higher amount of carbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffykins 673 Posted October 26, 2011 My body is carb sensitive meaning that if I eat carbs, I won't lose weight. My body will burn those foods instead of fat. Even "good carbs" are not my friend if I want to lose weight, so I restrict all carbs to no more than 30-40gr of carbs per day for maximum weight loss. Some people are carb sensitive as in; if they eat carbs, they want more carbs, and feel hunger. I do not suffer from this issue, but I also limited carbs very strictly in the losing stage to avoid any stalls or slow weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Felicia 28 Posted October 26, 2011 Being carb sensitive sucks. LOL... So I have the cravings for carbs and then once I eat them I can't stop. THEN I also stall any weight loss for a few days. Its a big bunch of crap. Hopefully as I stick to this low carb diet I can maybe curb any and all of these issues, maybe not tho. Heres to hoping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofme2010 25 Posted October 26, 2011 I am both kinds of carb sensitive. If I eat it I want more and it makes it super hard to lose any weight. Double screwed.. Looking forward to my sleeve. Thank god I like protien.. Julie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wannasleeve 10 Posted October 27, 2011 Wow! This could be my reason for losing only 14 lbs, since surgery. I am insulin resistance which translate to "carbs hate me", but so many professional are dead set that the good carbs don't hurt, but I am finding they do. I have been eating carbs and I haven't been losing weight as quickly as I thought I would. I just thought cutting back (since we can't eat that much) would do the trick, but it's not working. I guess I really need to consider take the carbs out. At least until I get to my goal. Thanks for the information! My body is carb sensitive meaning that if I eat carbs, I won't lose weight.
