I think so too. Much to the dismay of the low carb people, calories DO actually matter.
The one issue I have is reactive hypoglycemia. If I eat too much sugar and/or starch for breakfast, my blood sugar will plummet between meals later in the day (presumably due to hyperinsulinemia). However, if I eat a relatively low-carb breakfast, I can eat as much sugar and/or starch as I want later on and have no blood sugar problems.
If I keep this particular regimen, my fasting blood sugar actually improves with moderate amounts of sugar, dropping down into the low 70's upon waking each day. If I eat too much sugar and/or starch for breakfast, my fasting blood sugar the next day will sometimes go up into the low 90's, but this is the absolute highest I have seen it with this second go at "Peating."
The fasting blood sugar actually spiked up into the 110's consistently a year ago, but I believe that to be due to the combination of too much sugar and too much fat simultaneously. I have seen no such spike this time.
