But if you continue to eat low-carb, you don't end up with blood sugar spikes.
I know I'm much better off on a low-carb diet than I ever have been, and my blood glucose level is much more stable. My brain works better, and I've lost a lot of weight. But I can't pig out on sweets or I get a hangover. It's a tradeoff.
On the plus side, the sugar-loving bacteria in my gut have probably mostly died off, since I no longer get sugar cravings like I used to. So I don't feel like pigging out on sugar. Works for me.
