Carbohydrate Addict

[Guest guest]

I am a carbohydrate addict as well. When I first

attempted going raw many years ago there would be times

that I let my cravings get to me. I went to the

convenience store and bought a 4 pack of Reese's Peanut

Butter Cups. Then 5 minutes later I bought and ate

another one. Then another 10 minutes later I bought and

ate another one. Even the people in the store where

beginning to wonder about me. I always liked candy but

never would eat that much in a row.<br><br>How do you

get carbs in the raw food diet? By eating fruits.

They are high in the sugar we need to fuel our bodies

and our brains. Glucose is our number one dietary

need. So what I found out later was to eat way more

fruit. I wasn't getting enough calories. Once I got

enough calories the cravings for carbs went away.

<br><br> Problem solved!!!<br><br>The other day I ate 19

bananas and other sweet fruit. Don't worry about the

sugar. It's what our body needs and it can handle it

because the food has the fiber and nutrients to help

digest the sugar. <br><br>But you have to watch your

body and see how it reacts after a couple of weeks or

so on this new fruit regimen. I definitely can go

overboard on the sugar as well. I have to eat lots of

celery or salads and fats to balance the sugar. But you

shouldn't combine the fats and sugars at the same meal. Or

eat the fruits first and wait half an hour or so and

then eat the fats.<br><br>Roger Haeske<br><br>Get a
