how do you control your daily carb intake?

Question

i recently went on a no carb diet thing for like 8 months and i went from like 240 pounds to like 161. I am now off the diet cause all my friends think i look too skinny, heres my problem, whenever i eat carbs now, i eat way too much and its like i cant control it, like i will eat a box of cereal at a time (when i get it) but then when i have nothing "bad" in the house i can do okay that way but i just keep loosing weight if i do this, my question is how do you ease off a lo carb diet into a good lifestyle with carbs?

Answer 1

Just don't stock them in bulk. So if you want a slice of bread, buy the smallest loaf you can find. Bagel? Buy only one.

Or be sure to eat carbs with other foods, like fruits, vegetables, and proteins. So it's a whole meal, and you won't be tempted into eating a pure carb meal. I would suggest eating those foods first so you'll be a little full.

Now you were able to eat no carbs for 8 months, so this is simply a thing of habit. Once you start doing this gradually, you'll learn to incorporate carbs back into your life.

Answer 2

Im not sure but your body sounds like its craving carbs real bad, all i can suggest is everything in moderation...you may feel like eating a box of cereal (sure ur not pregnant?) but only you control how many times the spoon hits ur mouth
