Very nice to hear that you've found your way. I have always found it much easier to control diet when physical and mental demands are reduced as much as possible. Kind of a no-brainer, obvious advice, but quite good advice nonetheless.

For me when the demands are reduced on the body, and things are going better and I'm feelng relaxed and better, the desire for carbohydrates is just NOT there, which is a relief because I think we all know what happens when the desire to eat sweets ect is really really high.

I have been studying energy production and nervous system support from the stand point of someone with fibromyalgia, even though I don't have FM. I have learned that people who have moved a certain distance along a continuim towards FM, do not metabolise carbohydrates properly. Instead of metabolising 1 calorie of carbohydrates and making 33 molecules of ATP, they only make 3, and with all that less energy a bunch of lactic acid is made instead.

So my theory is if we don't have what it takes to make ATP (ribose magnesium, b vitamins.  Then possibly a poor response to carbos might reflect more a breakdown in energy production than say a candida problem in some people.
