They have to hide somewhere. Ha ha
I think the reason for my sore throat again, this morning. Yuck!!!
They have to hide somewhere. Ha haDo bedbugs contain carbs? I gather munching spiders in our sleep is something I would not bolus for, but happens more often that we care to think about (apparently, according to folk myth)
Not really.Given how keen the DSM folks are to pathologise common human behaviours it is at least a bit interesting that they've not done so with orthorexia.
Surely the carbs link is implied, when testing in labs via glucose tolerance tests, it is with a carb solution, and if insulin is to be measured they use the same solution.
It is not the carbs then what, something in the late 70's and 80's caused an explosion of diabetes and obesity exponentially. History shows there was a correlation with the low fat guidelines, big food responded in kind, removed fat in some foods such as yogurts and added sugar, in other foods they added sugar and vegetable oils / trans fats (now banned I believe) . In nature fat and sugar is hardly ever mixed. The food scientists know this combination is delicious. I have spent hours in supermarkets looking at packets to see what I can tolerate, I believe not one cereal is less than 50 g per 100 (many sit around 60) I would say the GI / GL impact to insulin response is settled again in the 80 / 20 rule scientifically and practically in diabetics and non and perfectly demonstrated with the regime Type 1's perform, the majority of the insulin is to cover carbs.
Even the UK Government agree that carbs can turn to fat and lead to diabetes - listen to the 100 calorie snack advert.
I agree this thread is long, I have added to it, adding and reading is optional.
But I've learned something new today. I'd not heard of Orthorexia, or realised it's potentially contagious.
if the modern high carb diet hadnt come along.
eat ****
yes, that preconception that a quick dietary fix can work miracles is a real problem for many of us, even on here : (overcoming some preconceptions around diabetes, ie it's a self-inflicted lifestyle issue with a simple dietary fix, rather than weight gain being a symptom of a metabolic disorder.. Not necessarily the cause.
But diets have always been high in carbs anyone over 50/60 will have been bought up on them. Bread potatoes and root vegetables were the main part of a meal also later pasta when it became fashionable and everything with sugar. Just like overweight people they will not all develop diabetes and the majority who have it will still be eating that way because they have never heard of low carb and probably would not do it if they had. .Low carb among diabetics is a minority thing
I sort of agree. Except that the amount of carbs I eat do not affect my blood sugar,s so I am not choosing to harm myself, I am choosing to eat as wide a range of foods as my body will tolerate.Probably for the same reason that people smoke or drink too much or eat ****. It may not be a person's wisest choice, but it is their personal choice. One might follow a regime that improves our "condition" whether it be lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, wheat intolerance, carbohydrate intolerance and it's normal to expect others with the same condition to adapt the same regime, but it's up to them, we can't force them.

Sorry, I should have been clearer and said i meant the huge amount of sugar, visible and invisible, in our foods and drinks. You are right about historical carb intake.But diets have always been high in carbs anyone over 50/60 will have been bought up on them. Bread potatoes and root vegetables were the main part of a meal also later pasta when it became fashionable and everything with sugar.

I had to look up orthorexia too.
I couldn't give a toss what word gets used. Visit the local pub or game of footy and you will here them all. Even on the telly now.The following message is just a bit of banter.
Assuming that's the word checker objecting to my 4 letter word, I should have said "something of extremely poor quality", but cr something p was quicker to type.
Just out of interest, I wouldn't dream of deliberately offending anyone, are people outside the US (where I guess the spell checker comes from, judging by the corrections I keep having to add to my dictionary) offended by the word, which can also mean excrement?
