    I don’t think there is a single fix for this. My diet is pretty carb heavy and I forget meals all the time. You just get focused on something and it’s…why am I lightheaded?…oh yeah. Food in the last 12 hours might have been nice.

    Background…it’s not just me but our genetics are bonkers. There are four other people in my family 35-75 years old and 5.5-6ft tall. Not a single one of us is over 130 pounds. We all struggle to gain weight. Doesn’t matter what we eat…good food or absolute garbage. Absolute garbage has other consequences…like also feeling like garbage but weight gain isn’t one of them. Cravings for anything are rare…drove my college roommate nuts that I could have candy around for like 6+ months.

      You have a better tolerance for carbs then most people. However, this meme is about people basically being addicted to carbs and fighting their food cravings when they burn through the 5g of glucose in the blood (because the body stores fat, not carbs). Carbs are the reason people are on the hangry roller coaster, always thinking about the next meal like it’s an emergency
