[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2355049, member: 85785"] I hate to use a saying, but with calories, what goes in, must come out, sadly it doesn't come with the details. Most people struggle on such diets. With low carb the success a lot of people have to help lose weight and improve their life, have a look at the success stories in the forum. A lot of people nowadays are finding ways dietary to improve their health. You only have to look at allergies, and see that some people are risking their health by ignoring that there is a reason why you have the allergy. One that is usually not thought of is wheat and how the grain has been changed in the last century, tolerance to grains is a relatively new problem. And yet, it is a staple dietary necessity. It is as an impact on your blood glucose as bad as glucose itself. 100% carbs! Dieticians say and still say that I have to eat bread, why? Probably because of the fibre, but why should I? A lot of people have digestion and metabolic conditions that they don't know they have. Gluten for instance. You are what you eat! No I'm not! People are going vegan etc. How do they know, if they have an intolerance to certain things in that diet or they need micronutrients from meat, that they have always had. It is a minefield. As I said, I went through my young days, being told to eat vegetables and milk. Why couldn't I just eat it, why did it make me ill? Imagine a baby spitting out food because he didn't like it. He is hungry but would rather do without, that eat what is in front of him. Is this telling the parents, not to feed him that or persist with the same in case, he was not well or teething etc. So a mother will find what the baby does like and make sure he is not going hungry. How many mothers use convenient tasty food? Just to get the baby to eat. What can be missed, is that some foods like some green vegetables, some of them are liked by the baby, but some are not. They (I'm told) the taste, texture and smell are similar but the baby will have favourites. Why? Again the baby is hungry and needs feeding, but what is happening with his preference to eat or not eat? Vegetables are really good for (so called) normal healthy humans. And when growing up, the information overload on vegetables, he still won't put a sprout anywhere near his mouth, inside his brain and the gut are having a conversation back and forth, don't eat that!! Again why? The child knows why but cannot explain it! As in my experience, if I had known that I had as well as my lactose intolerance, that I had a wheat intolerance, a grain intolerance, a rice intolerance, and to a certain extent other food that makes me ill! Does the body know why it won't eat certain foods, is the likes and dislikes of food, the body telling you, you don't have to eat that food? When I was a teenager into my twenties and played cricket and football, this is in the sixties and seventies, I was told often enough, by coaches, the way to stay fitter was to not eat spuds, bread and beer, this was common knowledge in the day. Why has this great advice been ignored? I thank you for seeing that my metabolism works differently (I am weird) and realising to think about the diversity of people and the reason why our dietary requirements are different and should be tailored to the individual. I have learned through experience, to keep an open mind and be proactive, rather than reactive (see what I did there?) to get real control of my condition, if I can get my head right, I may have a much better retirement! (Ha!) Stay safe, best wishes. [/QUOTE]
