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.

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!

I was only being playful mate, trying to inject some good natured humour into it.

Looks like CFH has your back and has labelled you a mental, so hopefully everyone will get off your back now

I wouldn't label very many people as 'mental' and certainly not someone with an eating disorder.

People have different sorts of health issues, including mental health ones, that need to be treated. Unfortunately, the bombastic ignorance surrounding mental health means that people aren't able to get the help they need to live a normal life and that is wrong. Those people who do come forward and admit to their problems are often mocked for it by dime-store psychologists which absolutely no understanding of anything even remotely medical, which I find absurd, and that just makes it more difficult for them to get better or develop strategies for coping.

There is a link in between what you feel down deep is full filling your life.

Your body will follow your mind set and your mind will follow your deepest and many times a hidden feeling or even worse a belief that is backed up emotionally.

If you change the emotion in the feeling; the mindset will change and the body will follow its rulers.

Its like changing the flow in the river.
