Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] It's refined carbs that are bad
[email protected]
Corallyn, this book you describe sounds like a good one. I have to agree
with the information stated about our society's high- carb diets leading to
many health problems. It is an excessive consumption of soft drinks, chips,
white flour and refined sugar products that are greatly contributing to
diseases like diabetes. When a person follows a high protein diet, initially
they eat an extremely small amt of carbs. This does put the body in ketosis,
which will cause the body to use it's own fat as fuel, which causes weight
loss. Even people who are wanting to lose weight on a protein diet will
begin eating carbs as a part of the diet. The difference is that they eat
carbs that are not refined and filled with sugar. Many people have some
difficulty digesting and metabolising specific carbs, which is known as a
carbohydrate intolerance, and is similar to an allergy. Avoidance of
processed foods will make a greater difference in one's health, in my
opinion, than eating strictly one way or another. From what I am learning,
the human body was designed to eat a variety of nourishing foods, including
some meat, some vegetables, nuts, fruits, and accasional starches. Nature did
not intend for us to consume all of the sugars , corn syrups, white flour,
and cornstarch products so h prevalent in the western diet. Interesting

That's right. infact the only problem I had with the
diet was when it came time to up my carbs. I lost
control and went completely off the diet and couldn't
get myself back on. It was actually my problem not the
diet's. I still haven't gotten back on the diet but I
am pg now and it wouldn't be wise although I do try to
eat the equal amounts of carbs and protein but don't
push myself to do so. If I am hungery I eat what I
have i.e. want. All this talk about it is giving me
motivation to start the diet again after I have the
baby though.
Oh and the other thing I forgot to mention that
happened when I was on this is that I did not lose any
lbs. I started the diet weighing 170 and when I lost
the 5 inches from my waist I was still 170. Nearly a
year later I had kept the inches off and was still
170. My fat % went down. I was confussed because I had
not exercised while on the diet but the only
explanation is that I gained muscle. That's what I
think is amazing. Now, when I started the diet my lean
body weight was 96 lb. When I went off the diet it was
around 110 lb.

Does anyone know the effects of going completely raw? I know two people that
are raw foodists and they too say they've never felt better. I did recently
read that a raw foodist is one whose diet is 75% raw, which does seem a
little more resonable to me. Just curious.

Thanks all you Vegetarians and Vegans and others who have had input on this
subject. It has lead hubbie and I to look at changing the way we eat to fit
in with our new unschooling lifestyle. I'm looking forward to learning more
from you seasoned pro's....
