I'm really starting to think that if it's processed then I probably shouldn't eat it, period.
Getting in touch with my inner cavewoman and eating a very "primitive" diet seems to be the key for me!  |
Carbs are interesting little critters aren’t they? I have done so many food trials around this it is ridiculous.
As soon as I think I’ve got them nailed down another surprise shows up. Processed stuff is definitely out, if it has a nutrition label they are using it to hide something.
But then as you just mentioned, whole foods require effort even if just remembering to have them around. Yet we are surrounded with crap food at all times.
I too can eat fruit until it comes out of my ears and almost all vegetables too; my exception on this is white potatoes, can’t go near them. Yams, sweet potatoes, and squash are fine though.
Grain? Forget it. Low nutrient, high carb and most things have them refined in some way, to some degree. I reserve the right to experiment more with whole quinoa in the future as a possible maintenance item.
When I finally dropped the grains my weight loss became very predictable and kept at a steady rate for over six months and is still going strong. I know it’s a tough sell, but the palate will re-educate itself. I have no desire for those things anymore.
I think they are a gateway drug to crapland. At least for me.
One thing I am certain of is that something will come along, probably sooner than later, to turn everything I think on its arse.
