I eat a paleo diet, which has low levels of dietary carbohydrates. ... I much prefer the freedom to eat whenever I want.

I just wanted to add myself as another data point: I have been low-carb for three months and I can vouch for this. (I also lost 10 kg)

If only I had known this when I was a kid. So many mid-mornings at school, hungry (and suddenly sleepy) because of "healthy" breakast cereals!
