To your body, all carbs food is the same.  Whether it is a bowl of cereal, a spoon of sugar, a piece of fruit, or a slice of bread, once it gets to your digestive system it is all converted to glucose.  Glucose is a liquid form of sugar which is used by your body when you decide to take a brisk walk, or spend an hour in the gym.   If you don’t spend energy the glucose will be converted to fat.  Most carbs food eaten by the average person ends up as body fat.   If you need proof of that take a look around.  Everybody is getting fat.

If you cut out bread, pasta, cereal, sugar and concentrate on proteins food, low sugar, fruit and veg, you will lose weight.  But if as you say, you are a carbohydrate addict, you are up against two big problems. 1. You are going to find it very hard to stick to low carb food.  it a bit like asking a heavy smoker to stick to a packet a day.   2. As a carbohydrate addict, (if you are an addict) you will never lose weight for long until you cure your addiction.  When you do that you will lose the weight automatically.

let me make one thing very clear.  Carbohydrates do not give us energy.  They provide the fuel if and when we want to spend energy.  Proteins food can do that too.  It’s like adding fuel to your car.  If you don’t get behind the wheel and drive it, the fuel will go stale.  Because our body can’t store glucose, (that’s the fuel that drives us) it is forced to store it as fat cells.  When you eat carbs food and do not spend much energy, you end up with body fat.

Carbohydrates are the least essential food of all.  They were introduced to our diet late, in the twentieth century.  Demand was first driven by a scare campaign about cholesterol and diet. This was fuelled by a food manufacturing industry that wanted a solid footing.  To a diet and manufacturing industry, there was no money in a protein diet.

Our history proves we can manage very well without carbs food.  There have been long periods in human history, where we have done entirely without carbs food.  That includes the last ice age.  If you are a carbohydrate addict you’ll hate hearing this.  But it’s a fact.  We can get by without carbs food but we cannot exist for long without proteins food.

A low carb diet, that is to say, a high protein diet, was considered normal till forty years ago.  That’s when we had a cholesterol scare campaign and most people, when tested, proved to have high cholesterol.  The only cure was an ultra high cholesterol and diet solution.  This has often been referred to as the pyramid diet.  Thirty years later we learned that the reason for the high number of people with cholesterol problems was incorrect testing.

There never was a high cholesterol problem.  But it proved a boon to cereal, diet food and other processed carbs food manufacturers.  They have had a lucrative ride on that lie for more than 3 decades.  Through their efforts, sixty % of the population have become addicted to carbs food.  We have a raging obesity epidemic.  Type2 diabetes is an epidemic waiting to happen and incidences of heart disease, colon and bowel cancers have never been higher.

If you always feel hungry on a low carb food diet, it is because you are a carbohydrate addict.   It means you suffer cravings, binges, constant hunger pains and frequent pangs of depression.  These are symptoms suffered by all addicts including, drugs, alcohol and tobacco.  Unless the addiction is cured no amount of low carb food is going to satisfy you for long.  Once the addiction is cured, so are the symptoms.  That means you will not feel hungry and you will feel more than satisfied with an unlimited supply of proteins food .

What is protein?  It is meat, fish, seafood, poultry,nuts, cheese, and eggs.

As a carbohydrate  addict, you have a responsibility to cure your addiction.  Not only for your own sake.  You are a mother of 3 children.  Your lifestyle will become their lifestyle.  If you are a carbs food addict, so will your children be when they are old enough to eat what you eat.   You have an opportunity to cure your carbohydrate addiction.  When you are addiction free you will be able to guide your children on a lifestyle that will not only keep them slim and healthy, it will ensure they will not pass their carbohydrate addiction on to their own children. Your future grandchildren.   That is something you can live to be very proud of.

Curing your carbohydrate addiction is a lot easier than living with it and watching your children grow up and suffer with it.

A low carb food diet is very helpful,  but only when you have stopped being an addict.

No carbohydrate addict can remain on a diet for long.  The weight always returns.   Your best solution is to cure your carbohydrate addiction.  When you do that you will lose your weight problems for good.   You will also lose your cravings and binges and those constant hunger pains.  Low carb food is the food our ancestors ate every day. It was our traditional diet till 40 years ago.
