It depends a lot on genetics and such as well. There are people that tolerate carbs really well whereas others have difficulties with even small amounts.

It never crossed my mind that there might be a problem with my sugar metabolism since I've always been skinny and could eat whatever I wanted and not put on a single pound. What got me on that track were the results of a glucose tolerance test which showed high insulin levels and normal blood sugar levels. I started to research more on insulin and sugar metabolism because I wanted to know what that could mean.
From what I've learned so far I probably don't tolerate carbs so well which leads to increased levels of insulin and cortisol which in turn mess with my hormones.
But it's definitely not the same for everyone. But even people who tolerate carbs (sugar) better can benefit from cutting down on sugar.
Indications for an intolerance (whether it's slight or bigger) might be: obesity, being underweight or even hyperthyroid, frequent and severe migraine headaches, epilepsy, problems with blood sugar (too low or too high), anxiety, agression, gaining weight around your tummy and many more.

Some people on the forum are actually following a diet which is low in sugar, for example Cousin Rose and girlfriday and it seems to help them. I'm feeling a lot better since starting on a low carb/high fat and protein diet. Even though the first couple of weeks were rather horrible. But it can take the body up to two years to completely adjust to it and get the maximum of benefits from it.

Hi,

For 3 yrs about 3 yrs ago I eat the way you explained.. mostly protein and veggies.. because I couldnt even tolerate whole grains or even white carbs..no matter what form.. so I just ate very few each day and as for fruit same as you.. just about none..if I do it is strawberries or blueberries the lowest type in the sugar department.. I had alot of problems then and cleared alot of them up..I use to be hypothyroid and now I am not for one example.. I took supps and herbs but dif ones then and now since I went off all that some symptoms came back but not as much..mostly my acne came back (having a brain fart), but now I am back to eating like mentioned above and taking dif kinds of supps and some the same and dif herbs and seeing a change again.. I believe msm played a big part and I just add borage oil and my healing process is really quick..I also add collagen 1&3 not sure if that is helping too... Oh and SP that might be help..I think so..

Thank you
