| The body does metabolise fat cells, I've heard that any more than 2
lbs per week is more than the body can burn neatly and harmlessly.
Dieting is not good for you if you do it to fast, or without taking
in the nutrients your body needs to run. It's common knowledge that
our body doesn't prefer to burn fat, it saves it as long as it can,
it's a survival technique.
What we need to remember is that carbs usually run our muscles
(protein builds them). So, when you get to your ideal weight you
need some carbs. Our problem is that we can't handle carbs well.
It's a medical problem we have and need to work around. What's the
best way to do that?
We know that if we eat to many carbs (that differs for each of us) we
have irritable bowl syndrome, leaky gut, candida overgrowth and all
the unpleasantness that goes along with it. So, it boils down to,
how many carbs can you handle, and do you eat the ones that have the
least side effects.
For most of us, refined carbs should be a treat to be taken
sparingly. I eat yams instead of potatoes because it's easier to
digest. But, once in a while you just have to have the flexibility
to eat something you can really enjoy. But the day in and day out
diet has to reflect our special needs. That's where this gets
tricky, for all of us.
Does anyone have a great recipe for that one dish that's easy to fix
when we're tired and can barely stand up, and nothing in it that will
make us sick?
