Hi Everyone, If you're like me, sugar is an addiction. It's been my lifelong addiction, and it continues to be a challenge for me as I work toward recovery. However...we all know that it is absolute KRYPTONITE for toxic disease sufferers. Sugar will feed the monsters. Ingest sugar and the little devils will have a party inside your system. So...with this in mind, I'd like to share the following thoughts about the subject of sugar that I've learned and that have helped me in no particular order: * Actual sugar and foods with added sugar are easy enough to spot...and we know we shouldn't eat those. * However...it's good to be aware that any carbohydrates we eat actually turn to sugar in our systems...even the "good" stuff like quinoa. * This doesn't mean we can't have carbs...if we're aware of how to manage our carb intake, we can be in control of it. * Net carbs are easy to calculate, and if you limit your net carbs (I like to keep mine between 20 and 30 a day), you can drastically cut down on any kind of sugar...or sugar converted from carbs that will enter your system and feed the pathogens. * The way you measure net carbs is simple. Just find the number of regular carbs per serving (check labels or google), and then subtract the number of fiber grams from the number of carbs (also found from checking the label or googling). The result is "net carbs." * Even vegetables have carbs...but...the above ground veggies...particularly leafy veggies come out pretty low in net carbs because of the number of fiber grams. * I've found it amazing how much difference I feel since I've cut myself down to between 20 to 30 net carbs. The lower carb load cuts my symptoms down significantly. * As most of you know, I've embraced the Keto diet, so...this gives me plenty of ways to find fun foods to eat. Youtube is loaded with great keto recipes and with the invention of liquid stevia (I like the "Sweet Drops" brand), you can make all kinds of treats. * Almond flour and coconut flour have low net carbs, though do measure and keep track...it can be easy to overdo it on these...but...you can still get enough to make some great recipes and keep your net carbs within limits. * I think I've always depended on carbs and sugar to keep my energy up. According to what I've read about the keto diet, your body will either burn glucose (from sugar or carbs) or fat. The keto diet "trains" your body to burn fat. Wow! That's great if you want to lose weight...and even greater to be able to keep your energy level up without a "hit" of sugar or carbs. For some reason this requires eating a lot of fat...which is WAY fun on the butter part, etc., but if you keep the carbs down, you won't gain weight from eating all that fat. The fat is also great for eliminating the hunger pangs. Of course there's an acclimation period called the "keto flu" where you basically go through withdrawal from carbs and sugar, but once you get past that, it's great. * I'm sharing this because it's really helped me with my symptoms to keep those net carbs under 30 every day. I was really surprised how much difference that made. Before, I was making food choices based on what I'd read were "ok" which included rice, spelt flour, quinoa, etc. Those all are carbs just waiting to turn to sugar. Hope this information helps anyone reading this as much as it's helped me. Love, Karen *.. | |||

Cheryl, Thanks so much for reposting this and the info on the net carbs. Since I've stopped eating the brown rice and have chili without beans, the crawling feeling went away. I am still purging here and there but much better. God Bless, Nicholas | |||
