I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with the above!!! Add in unprocessed, natural foods per the carb ladder SLOWLY. Specific foods may not work for you. My triggers for weight gain and cravings include Greek yogurt, cottage cheese (actually any dairy in large amounts), cherries and Maltitol (though not unprocessed or natural ). I can eat most other fruits, most veggies (including potatoes in small amounts), and even rice and beans and tortilla chips in small amounts. But I added all non-induction foods slowly, one at a time, over time. It's a pain, but in the long run it's the only way to ensure you actually know what <you> can eat to maintain....because we are all individual.



Agreed again. I find that most processed foods cause me problems. I can't do bars and I can't do low carb store bought ice cream, for instance. I look at the ingredient list and if it's more than a couple of items long I don't even bother reading the ingredients because those types of foods normally cause weight gain and/or cravings. It's not JUST about the number of carbs. You have to take into account the ingredients as well. Stinks, but it is what it is.
