How long does it take for a carb addiction to fade?

Yes.

Yes.

Can you even be addicted to a macro-nutrient?

DNP, tren and hgh/insulin will make you crave for it.


On the bright side, if you're on tren, dnp or/and hgh+insulin then you absolutely burn through carbs and get insane gains/remain lean.

2 weeks physically and however long it takes you to stop being a pussy mentally.

Type 1 diabetic here. Insulin doesn't make you crave carbs, nor does it hinder you or cause problems in any way, this is all /fit/ memery. Unstable blood sugars can and will make you crave carbs and cause other problems. Important difference.

Complex carbs are great for you. Refined carbs and processed foods are shit for you. We've known this forever.

You think you won't go hypoglycemic and die from lack of carbs if you inject yourself with shitloads of HGH and insulin?

you realize these guys aren't taking "prescription" levels of insulin.

You mean hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia is high blood sugar. Of course you will, that's not what's causing you to crave sugar though, at least not strictly.

There's also no such thing as a prescription level of insulin. If you have a prescription for insulin you take as much as you need to compensate for what you eat, the weather, how much you work out, etc.

you have this backwards

Pretty much this.

And if you slip up after that two weeks, they can come back hard.

I did Keto for two months, got halfway to goal weight, got flu had to eat carbs, set myself back a whole month.

Depends on how you tackle the issue -- quitting all refined/bleached/processed carbs at once (ie, going cold turkey) or reducing them over a period of times like days or weeks.

At 278 lbs I decided to cut out the majority of carbs from my diet as well as soda and high sugar content foods all at once. It was a serious mental hurdle to get over... for about a week.

My suggestion when you have that craving or moment of mental weakness drink water, drink water, drink water and eat a couple of raw carrots or other veggies instead.
