My body needs carbs like I need a hole in my head!
As far as a binge later...not so much....especially after I got over the initial addictive response.
I so appreciate that carbs are not your enemy..... I am so happy for you that your body can process carbs properly .... I'm actually jealous that this is true for you....... I wish it were true for me..... but it's not.
Carbs ARE my enemy.
What I have learned is that for me carbs = death. Slow... debilitating....painful....death.
Every carb I consume pushes my blood sugar into the danger zone......my body cannot continue to protect me from my own poor choices (consumption of carbs). My pancreas can't do it any more.
If only I had known in my 20's the effect that my choices would have on my future. That believing what I was taught in nutrition class wasnt the whole story. Do I blame them?? Not at all. They are simply teaching what they were taught. I took what they said at face value and didn't research anything.
My health is my responsibility....no one else's. What goes in my mouth is my choice....just as the consequences of those choices are mine and mine alone.
I support every person in their choice to eat however they choose......food consumption is a very personal thing and the dynamics behind those choices is very complex.
What works for me may not work for you. Each body is different...with a very unique history. Each person makes choices based on their own beliefs, experiences, knowledge and history so each outcome is unique.
I pray that every person here finds what works for them and that they find success with whatever choices they make.... that they are able to reach their goals.
Blessings and Peace to all.
