And yes, most of them - and I - were carb addicts. But once you break the addiction to them, it's amazing how you develop a "normal" appetite, learn what "real" hunger feels like, and be completely free from binging.

My wife and I will vouch for that. It's hard to explain the difference to someone who has never tried it. I think many many are addicted to carbs and the cycles that consuming them take them through.

Exactly.

How do you explain to people that, before low carbing, there was no such thing as not being hungry, always wanting to eat, planning and plotting the next meal or binge, finding it inconceiveable to miss a meal, etc.

Before low carb, my life revolved around eating. Now - it's what I do 2-3 times a day to keep my body fueled, but it isn't all-important anymore.

I sometimes compare people like us to tribbles - we can never stop eating, even when the grain's poison to us. We starve to death in bins full of grain.
