Thank you for this post! I am no where near maintenance, but I rebounded almost immediately during my last foray into LC, so I am also interested in how others maintain. I am currently eating now how I would like to eat forever for the most part. I do really miss fruit, particularly the tropical fruits I used to eat often as a South Florida resident, so I am hoping I can indulge a bit more freely in those in maintenance. Have you ever found yourself needing/wanting to add more carbs by way of fruits or other high-carb plant foods? Also, I've read about the negative impacts of long-term low LC on thyroid function, but I am hoping I can avoid that since I eat plenty of vegetables. Have you seen any other changes as a result of long-term LC that have required you to add in additional? These are also directed at anyone in maintenance (there isn't much activity in that section), including the lovely Bluesinger whose story was so inspirational to read!
