how gradually should i introduce starch back into my diet (im trying for mostly all whole grain stuff) i took it out for two weeks and now i'm putting starch back in.
You shouldn't have to worry about introducing whole grains, as long as they are part of a balanced diet. Do listen to your body and pay attention to your energy levels though throughout the day. Different bodies seem to function optimally on different amounts of carbohydrates.
Just to warn you, there is a good chance you will see an increase on the scale if you have been eating low carb. Don't panic though - it is not fat, just your muscles storing more water as their glycogen stores increase.
well being that you can't take it back and never have cut carbs in the first place then i'd say just eat the recommended amount. 5-6 oz per day. so divvy it up, 2 oz for breakfast, 2 oz for lunch, 1 oz for dinner. then maybe add another serving with dinner after a few weeks.
you will gain weight if you've been restricting. for every one gram of glucose we hold 2.7 grams of water. so, you will surely gain "weight" but not 'fat' accept it now as a reality of life.
the suggested method is start with one fruit, one starch daily. watch how your appetite is affected but typically a week - earlier if you notice no appetite change or slightly longer if you have cravings. gradually increase to 2-3 fruits and 2-3 starches daily.
it will help in the beginning if you accompany a starch or fruit with some protein if your carb sensitive.
