I'm a amateur body builder who works out two hours a day when I first got
sick I put on 50 pounds but lost that the first year of control.

that’s why I felt good about trying it out..especially since if say eat a
fourth of a banana in my protein shake once a month doesn’t effect me so I
got cocky..lol

its no biggie I eat such a variety of foods..not eat a slice of bread or
tiny potato with dinner isn't a big deal.

Breakfast might always be a problem for carbs. Are you having the
extra carb well away from meals? As in mid afternoon? If its not a
sensitive question, are you overweight? And if you are is the extra
weight muscle or some fat?
