It's certainly true that my oil consumption
plummeted after going low-carb. I've since
modified my diet to be low-refined-carb, and
my oil consumption has increased, but it's
still a lot lower than it used to be.

depriving, I reintroduce carbs.

I'm guilty of that myself. My worst high carb indulgence is milk.

Low carb is not no carb. It's an optimization not a quest to reach
zero. I eat better and more tasty food when I'm properly low carbing
than when I'm a carb eater. When it comes to flavor, 20 different types
of veggie cooked 10 different way sure beats 20 different shapes of
otherwise identical tasting noodles no matter that they come with 10
different sauces.


If you are deprived when low carbing you're over doing the restrictions
and/or not using enuogh variety of veggies, meats, spice, cooking
methods.

It's very tempting to think that if low carb is good for loss then lower
carb must be better. It's so obvious, especially when other types of
dieting plans say that more intensity is better. The problem is obvious
does not equal true. Lower is not better for loss.

Not all carbs are identical or tasteless. Watermelon and sweet
potato sure don't taste the same. White and brown rice are
likewise quite different in flavor profiles. I nonetheless
agree with you about noodles; I eat pasta at most once a month
and quickly tire of it. Still, there's something intangibly
appealing about how different shapes and textures of pasta
interact with different sauces. It's not about just the sauce
or only the pasta; it's about the combination of both.

restrictions and/or not using enough variety of veggies,
meats, spice, cooking methods.

I eat a wide variety of meats, veggies, spices and use many
different cooking methods. but despite all that, there are
times when I either want specific carbs or choose to partake
in public settings.

then lower carb must be better. It's so obvious, especially
when other types of dieting plans say that more intensity is
better. The problem is obvious

You're very right.

"really diabetic" is totally meaningless gibberish, something an
uneducated pinhead attempting to appear knowlegeable and/or implying
someone is lying about being diabetic would say... being diabetic is
not like being pregnant. Whether one can occasionally enjoy extra
carbs has to do with the type and severity of one's diabetes. I'm not
diabetic but I now have a diabetic cat so I've recently learned a lot
about the disease. He can no longer have dried food as a regular
diet, he is fed specific canned foods, but occasionally feeding him
dried foods is healthful to his well being (physically and
emotionally), better for his digestion and his his teeth (cats require
enough fiber to deal with hair balls and they need some abrasive foods
to clean their teeth), and he's not constantly feeling
deprived/agitated from watching the others eat dried. So long as he's
regularly tested (which I do daily) and fed appropriately some carbs
are beneficial. As it turned out it's not so simple to get dried food
into him as he now prefers eating only canned, he rarely eats the
dried that's out all the time... I thought that would present a
problem but as it turned out there's no problem at all... except that
the others are jealous of his canned food, so I have to lock him in a
bathroom to feed him or the others will steal his food. Diabetes is a
matter of degree and monitoring, it's not at all about "severely
curtailing" carbs, whatever TF severely means... I guess for
uneducated baboon ass face nincompoops "really" and "severely" are
purposefully presented in hopes they'll be construed as medical terms
because they rhyme! LOL-LOL

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .
