Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007Carb Addiction -----
Addiction is a very poor word. It implies that the person cannot solve a problem. In so many cases that is proven to be untrue. We condition ourselves to avoid self restraint and our rich society allows the use of this excuse. I watched a late teenager that made a lotof the excuses but she met a fellow ahe wanted very badly. Almost immediately she started to trim weight and ended up very trim for at least the next 20 years. Oh yes, she got her fellow. Mother nature is indifferent toward us. We are dropped here in a "As is" mode. We can gve up or we can set standard for our selves. We have a lot of potential control over our self image. Part of our world of people will show no mercy. Our busnesses are there to sell. Tat is no secret. It is damn time we face the world or it will "eat us up. A human will bypass indulgence but many lower animals use no contreol. Grab it. Decide what you are. All the gimmacks and buzz words will not change a thing. You do that yourself. convicted neighbor Guy (g...@consolidated.net) wrote: > Addiction is a very poor word.

I already know I am an animal, and know I am driven by my biology just like animals are. I have no intention of doing white knuckle control to prove I am a higher being than other animals. I instead try to use my brain to solve the problem, so I do not need to ruin the quality of my life by using white knuckle control of myself and can have a more comfortable control of my eating. Using my brain to make things better for myself seems like much better proof of being a "higher animal" than deciding to go against my nature with a white knuckle method.

I'm reminded of a nice cartoon in the caveman and his dog series. The man and his dog find their path blocked by a huge boulder. The man studies it thoughtfully. He reasons that with his advanced intelligence he has many options available to deal with this problematic obstacle. He could fashion some rope with which to climb over it. He could use a long pole to vault over it. He could tunnel under it. He could use fire and water to crack it onto pieces. As he ponders these alternative solutions to the problem the dog, which has walked round the boulder and sat down on the other side, wonders "What problem?" :-)  SignatureChris Malcolm cam@infirmatics.ed.ac.uk DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/] >>> A human will bypass indulgence but many lower animals >>> use no contreol.

It is the world's great lie about hunger that makes it difficult to eat less because one will become hungrier (healthier).

Actually, the irrational compulsion to overeat is absent in non-human working animals. Guide dogs for the blind are able to choose to ignore food no matter how hungry they are when there is work to be done so that it is not time to eat. Moreover, when they choose to eat, they know that overeating (eating until their stomachs are stretched thereby killing their hunger) impairs their ability to work so they choose to stop eating before they kill their hunger. Similarly, other working animals are the same. It is the human working animals that has the irrational compulsion to eat in both at inappropriate times and excessively. This truly comes from the world's great lie about hunger being bad that has become deeply rooted in our hearts: http://HeartMDPhD.com/PressRelease May reading the following help you overcome this great lie so that you will at least be convinced in your mind (while waiting for your heart to become convinced) that hunger is wonderful: http://abchung.livejournal.com/5428.html?thread=36660#t36660 May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way making you healthier (hungrier) than ever: http://TheWellnessFoundation.com/PressRelease Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD Cardiologist Andrew you probably never lived on a farm. Let a horse loose in a green cornfield and watch it eat and die. Many other examples. We see so many gimmicks and excuses here to allow OVEREATING. More need the opportunity to go to areas were there is not enough food. A few in the US. We are doing a better job, starting near the end of WW2 Today it is mostly where caretakers select between lottery tickets and food. Some old people need to select between food and medicine. The US is very rich nation but not for all. Some of that "ALL"are not a sorry lot. My contention , right or wrong, is that we substitute fads for good basic common sense. and decency. Low carb is some of the story and makes semi control easier to achieve But it is not a total answer. If I were to eat ground up bricks, it would do the same thing. Balanced diet is called balanced for a reason. The quantity stupid. :-( bad day >> I already know I am an animal, and know I am driven by my biology just like >> animals are.

Folks who are overeating (eating until stomach stretched killing the hunger) are not aware of what they are doing nor are they aware of the harm they are bringing upon themselves in the form of VAT accumulation. > More need the opportunity to go to areas were there is not enough > food.

Such is the behavior of those who lack of wisdom. > Some old people need to select between food and medicine. Folks who choose to eat less, down to the optimal amount, becoming healthier (hungrier) thereby losing their VAT typically find that they save doubly by cutting both their grocery bills and pharmacy bills in half. Not only do they no longer suffer from the illusion of having to choose between food and medicine, they find themselves with a cash surplus. > The US is very rich nation but not for all.

Whether people avail themselves of the food and the food programs is another thing altogether. >Today it is mostly where caretakers select between lottery >tickets and food. Some old people need to select between food >and medicine. I don't believe that caretakers are *mostly* selecting lottery tickets over food, but some of those old people are buying lottery tickets too. I know this because I saw a big winner not that long ago, and he was old. He was buying rounds of drinks at the bar he has frequented for years. >The US is very rich nation but not for all.

Do you see > the difference? A lot can't see how one can have this elusive "balanced" diet by moderating the amount and type of carbs they eat. That is very sad because the answer for many people is at their fingertips. Balance does not mean this food, that food etc. It means this nutrient and that nutrient. People who are forced to have canned nutrient through through a naso gastric tube are not missing out. My SIL's mother is a classic example. She has lived like that for 9 years after radiation for throat cancer destroyed her ability to eat. Apart fromthat she is as healthy and active as thenext person. I think a lot of people believe a balanced diet is a serve of starch, a serve of protein and a some vegetables. They couldn't be more wrong. >>The quantity stupid. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Sorry about that. I eat huge amounts of food but I don't over-eat. Over eating is when the calories in don't balance with the calories out. There are a few balancing acts we have to do but like anything, they become second nature. I don't even think about carbs anymore. I know what I can put on my plate and in what quantity that won't cause a blip on my bg radar.. |
