This was how calorie counting tried to kill me. It encourages a Noom approach that emphasizes carbs because such foods can be lower in calories, but have metabolic-derangement effects. If they'd tried, they could not have found a better way to derange mine.

A while back we had a discussion of the Rice Diet, which is essentially carbs only, and how it worked for 1/3 of the people. 1/3 it did nothing. 1/3 it was horrible!

That last group would be me. I likewise have to avoid lectins, which restricts me to pickled vegetables and botanical fruits.
