Yes, it sure is.

My appetite gets crazy. I don't know why, but that's how it is, and I'm just going to accept it. It doesn't take a lot of carbs to stay on plan, but it takes some, whether I understand it or not. As long as it works, I'm going to resist the temptation to tweak or "improve" it. 

I've also tried skipping the carbs, and it's just a big mess for me.  I would not have suspected that I'd find carbs filling and that they'd shut off hunger, but they do.
