I started a thread here: Maintaining: First Time Ever, so I can track THAT beginning. I was so proud. Sat, Oct-21-17. I actually started out trying to maintain at my lowest weight (135), but found that untenable. This body is now in its 75th year, so a higher BMI is considered better for maintaining my status as a Super-ager.

Before I answer the question (and I will answer honestly) I beg you to remember that I used to be a working chef. I LOVE food, experimenting with food, rolling around in food, if you will. I lived in France and in Germany and have sampled really good regional foods. In Los Angeles, I've eaten in sampling restaurants of some of the best chefs in the world and been humbled by just how good food can be.

Now for the answer:
Yes, if I were diagnosed with a crippling disease which would kill me soon, I would happily resort to eating excellent carbs in all forms.

That is my price. Imminent death.
