CARBOHYDRATE ADDICTION

CARBOHYDRATE Addiction Whatever happened to the food timetable that was so conspicuous on kitchen walls in our homes, which made it very clear what you would be eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You knew what would be served every day of the week at meal times. Your enthusiasm and promptness at arriving at the dining room at meal times was closely tied to your affinity for what would be served. A no-show at meal time (even if you do not like the dish) would be a kind of mini hunger strike or fast. With benefit of hindsight, the timetable/ planned menu embodied a very balance diet and there was a variety of meals from all the food groups – carbohydrate, protein and fat. If you were fortunate to go to boarding house, it was just the same principle our-meals were planned and balanced-carbohydrates, protein and fat. You knew the timetable off by heart, and just in case you forgot, all you had to do was ask the student next to you, it did not matter if they would be sharing the same table with you in the refectory. Promptness and eagerness of arriving at the refectory was dependent on how you rate that particular meal-love, like dislike, hate. We found the portions of the meals we loved to be meager and the ones we did not like to be ample. When it was my turn to clear the tables. For some meals, there were hardly any leftovers to be removed, while for a particular protein meal, we hauled the leftovers back to the kitchen in ‘trailer’ –loads!’ Interestingly the school authorities did not remove that meal form the menu for the five years I was in boarding house. Truth is, we love some food more than others. We are wired to eat food that taste good band also make us fell good. We have freedom of choice and there is no ‘food police, to review your planned meal menu in the glare of the whole world. We tend to eat more of the foods we love and you would hear people passing remarks like: ‘I can eat pounded yam three times a day or everyday; If you take a critical look at you eat (yes, I know you are too busy to have a planned menu), is it more of starches, snacks, sweets, carbonate, sugar sweetened beverages? Bread, cereal,pasta,rice,noodles spaghetti, cake, fruit juices, popcorn, meat pie, sausage roll, chicken pie, doughnut, potatoes, cookies, pizza, ice cream, chips, French fries? Carbohydrates are the diet principal component of any diet. Carbohydrate addiction is defined as a basic hunger, craving, or desire for carbohydrate-rich foods. Signs and symptoms of carbohydrate addition include: . A frequent focus on eating. . Lack of satisfaction or the desire to eat again a couple of hours after eating. . A sense of fatigue, tiredness, or lack of energy. . An unexplained feeling of anxiety for carbohydrate addiction; we would take a look at this next week at this next week. Meanwhile, pay closer attention to your food diary sees how you can start cutting down on those crabs that are not serving your best interest. I wish you optimum health and well being!
