Do you eat White bread?

No idea who that is but it's basically unquestionably better for you to limit processed grains whenever possible. I'm also a believer in different metabolic types, some people will put on weight eating carbs no matter where they come from, other's do very well eating almost nothing but. Sweet potatoes and other root vegetables are indeed the best source imo, moreso than any grain.

Wheat is a problem in the Western world because we eat so much of it. It's in everything, bread, cereals, pasta etc, and too much can lead to intolerence problems, but wheat itself is very good for you.

I'm a believer in overeaters and greedy people. Metabolic type is simply an excuse. In test after test that has been done, it's shown that weight gain is a rwsult of somebody consuming more calories than they burn.

Also, the heavier someone is the faster their metabolism has to work so they have to eat more (calories not necesarrily food quantity if their food choices are shit) to keep the weight up.

Ironically Big H, if he is the heaviest person on this thread will almost certainly have the fastest metabolism, and I, as the lightest, and also with an underactive thyroid gland, will have the slowest.

Metabloic rates are just a justification for fatties as to why they are fat.

BBC - Health: Myths about metabolism

Overeating is not always down to greed though. And it's only ignorant people that believe it is. Yes, there are many people who are overweight simply because they have no will power or discipline and are just plain greedy. There are other like me, who have a compuslion that is not led by greed. I am extremely disciplined in all aspects of life, but with food I am almost helpless. Will Power is nowhere near as strong as the subconscious and will power will always fail long term - it's unsustainable! Some people have just had a program error somewhere along the line and until the brain is reprogrammed they can never succeed long term.

I didn't eat any food for 14 weeks in 2006, have you any idea how hard that is? But since that and months of councelling, seeiing a shrink, hypnosis and reading every book under the sun I am no further forward in beating this complusion to eat!

It all boils down to will power, same thing with quiting smoking, drinking, et al. Plan your meals for each day, toss in a little exercize, and stick to your program.

....spoken by somebody that has no understanding of what it is like to suffer with this.
If you read any book on the subject on consult anybody with an ounce of knowledge they will tell you that will power has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it and that will power cannot prevail long term.

I'm not talking about everybody, some people just need to get of their ass stop stuffing their faces and do some exercise, and are completely able to do that if they could be bothered. Others cannot do this. There are actualy things called eating disorders

Can you 'Will power' away a physical issue? If you broke your leg could will power make it better? So why would you think it's any different with a mental injury/disorder or whatever you want to call it.

Trust me, a more disciplined, organized and rational person than me you will not find. I can say to "No" to smoking, drinking gambling, fucking other woman and I can manage a UK business turning over 50 million pounds, but I cannot regulte what eat.

Word.

The ignorance and stigma surround mental health problems is one of the reasons so many people are unable to get better. People can't even acknowledge they have then and get treated because of the way some people, with no real understanding of how things actual work, vilify them. It's ridiculous.

Would you call someone weak for getting cancer? Of course not. Mental illnesses/disorders are no different from other diseases except that they occur in a different part of the body and the symptoms manifest differently.

I wasn't being critical of you Big H, only stating what's worked for me, if you have an eating disorder, then my bad for suggesting that you could use will power to overcome it.

No. It sticks to the roof of your mouth and taste like wet paper. Honey wheat all day!

[brocktonblockbust]

whenever i accidentally eat too much white bread i make sure to really crank spinach or some dark green vegetables afterwards to sort of dilute it and get it moving through the intestines. WHite bread has a tendency to constipate, beng totally devoid of fiber.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

lots of eating issues have roots in control/emotions.

It's the SAME thing when an anorexic says 'I'll be happy when I'm thin' as when someone overweight says it.
