I'm a T1Diabetic and...yeah, that's not it. Traveled to ITA in the pre-CGM days, and perpetually had low blood sugars, even in a period of my life where I had less than ideal control. I came to the conclusion that the walking-heavy lifestyle and not-heavily-processed fats and sugars are.the differemce makers.

?!?!!? carbs are the whole reason I am alive

Have they seen Italians? Maybe they shouldn’t be afraid of a few carbs.

I’ve heard that before! I remember even when I was vegan in my 20s I said if I went to Italy I would eat all the things 😂

ugh what a miserable existence that would be. God I hate diet culture

Ummmmmmmm Italian food isn’t just pasta and pizza

That's a pretty narrow view of italian cuisine: you can have a whole load of different foods beyond pasta and pizza. We eat a lot of fruit and veggies here, excellent local meats and cheeses, seafood etc. By the way... those who are afraid of carbs should also be afraid of fats when visiting because... we fry everything! And it feels so damn good every once in a while!

Cries in carb (italian)

yes all my bffs skinnys Bs

someone once told me there’s ‘sooOoooO much sugar’ in mango when i said it was a healthy food that’s so tasty i can’t believe it’s good for you. like YA FRUIT TENDS TO HAVE SUGAR????
