I consumed no evil all weekend.
I have a serious sugar addiction problem. It has concerned ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cathijosephine a lot. I don't know how anybody manages to consume it in quantities that aren't unhealthy. I saw something that suggested classifying refined sugars as poisons because they displace foods that contain nutrients in diets.
My current list of evil foods:
Part of this process was google searching for sugar depression.
The paleo diet is neat (just meat, veggies, and fruits), although I'm not sure about its exclusion of whole grains. An inconvenience that occurred to me last night is that I don't think canned fruit is available in plain water. The blood type diets are interesting (different diet for each blood type), although for me it basically just points back to the paleo diet.
The raw meat diet fascinates me, but I don't really want to spend that much money on meat of sufficient quality.
Update: Apparently all rice has a high Glycemic Index, so I'm going to try to stop eating it.

- Refined / added sugars.
- Refined grains (white flour, white rice).
- Fruit juice (refined sugar)
- White potatoes.

no subject
haven't quite given up on minimal amounts of grains though.
the basic challenge: go a week with it. put some protein on a plate about the size of your palm, and as thick (not including fingers), load the plate with veggies to cover it. broccoli, spinach, and many more. eat!
drink a lot of water and/or tea/coffee - you're consuming a lot more fiber than you probably do...
if a week works out, keep going another week...
figure out later what to add in, or remove if you don't like.
recently (1-2 months), i've give up eating anything with artificial sweeteners - most notably drinks/sodas. it's been ... interesting and anxious. i typically never drink anything with HFCS anymore. water and tea and coffee...
sprouted bread is marvelous imho, but not a LOT of it. pasta is right out. wild rice is okay as a side, not a meal. too much dairy as well - but i'll still go for a cheesecake or icecream - sparingly.
it makes for vastly simpler food choices, and one realizes quickly just how much CRAP is being pushed on us.
i'm sure you've googled, but the crossfit people have a lot to say about paleo... i can provide pointers as you like.
