I don't know if this issue will ever be truly resolved. When I see people who say they are virtually no carb and can stick to it for years I'm amazed. But for now I'm back in good place and hope to repair the damage done by carb creep. If I ever get to goal, I shall have to figure out how maintenance works! That will certainly be a challenge. By the way, black bean noodles ARE great. I had some the other day. They dont' taste of much but they have a great texture.
