I heard people in my WLS group yesterday refer to themselves as carb sensitive. What does this mean?

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.

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.

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..:)

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
