[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 389593, member: 3907"] MWM, you mentioned that L's constant eating was triggered when he was on medications, but that he's continued with it even though he's not been on the medications for years. For some reason that rung a bell, so I went through my archive last night...when husband was seeing a bariatric doctor a couple of years ago to guide him through his weight loss (200+ lbs), the doctor mentioned that the body can get addicted to carbohydrates because of the impact on your blood sugar. Especially if you're insulin resistant. Your body starts to crave the spike in blood sugar, but then insulin doesn't work as effectively at regulating it, etc. and you end up eating more and more carbs to get the same effect. husband has been following the Glycemic Index diet for a few years now, and it works very well. Susie, aside from the Vit D sensitivity, I have a lot of the same issues with textures, smells, combinations of food etc. ML, I have tried to come up with a strategy for the times when I need to eat and eat and eat. I wonder if it will work for Manster. Rather than trying to limit my intake of things that will make me gain weight (have you ever tried to eat just one potato chip? Doesn't work), I figure out what I like about that food and replace it with something else. Lately I've been making what husband calls "Trinity's Giant Crazy Salad". It's romaine lettuce, black olive slices, pickled beets cut into cubes, dill pickles cut into cubes, green peppers, red peppers...sometimes green olive slices, sometimes slivers of almond, sometimes shredded cheese. I put that all together in a mixing bowl and toss it with a strong flavoured tart vinegar based dressing -- balsamic vinaigrette, or oil with lemon juice, or something like that. It's salty, crunchy, pickly...and makes loud crunching noises when I eat it, just like chips. It takes a couple of hours to eat, because I get bored and have to take breaks, but it will last me through an entire movie or something. So no chips, no popcorn, just a crazy-salad. It might be worth experimenting with Manster on substitutions... Trinity [/QUOTE]
