I have been reading about insulin resistance and I am wondering deeply about how it affects me and those around me. Eating too many refined carbs or carbs period and the craving etc. that follows.
I have read and re-read about diabetes, insulin, pancreas, etc. and I have been trying to figure all that out. More to the point understand how the body works. I get that the cells get overloaded and don't send the message to the brain etc.
But, the above link really really made sense to me. I guess I was ready for the message perhaps!
I have spent a life time of craving food, desiring food, obsessing about food and all that it brings. Really what it is is not the food. Its anything but. But, what I did figure out is this . . . I remember being a kid and having the craving I have now and not understanding it.
I WAS EATING TOO MANY REFINED CARBS FOR MY BODY (it was the 70's people)
My physio said to me recently that the injuries in my body were not my fault. I asked her what I was doing wrong. Nothing she said, it was my body. Hmmm . . that got me thinking. I am looking at myself being so weak willed and an awful human being with no control . . . when in fact (perhaps) its my body.
I have been eating too many carbs for too long and my body just can't manage. My heart is racing and I am getting a head ache even as I write this.
Okay . . . breathe, what next. Truly my chest is getting flip flops and a heat rush. Heh . . . hot flash.
Heart palpitations, flush . . . gotta love this body.
So back to looking at pure food, and I keep figuring that I am eating so well. And I am just needing to add more veggies low GI veggies.
I have been cruising the raw food sites and the spirit behind raw food.
I LOVE IT AND IT SPEAKS TO ME ON SO MANY LEVELS.
Back to basics.
