Carbohydrate addicts are paying a big price for their lifestyle. Yet most don’t even know they are addicted, or what the ultimate price of addiction can be. They receive no recognition and even less information about a lifestyle that will turn them into obesity statistics and probably kill them.
Nobody hesitates to tell carbohydrate addicts to go on a low carb diet. Yet those same people wouldn’t dream of advising an alcoholic to stick to a couple of drinks, or a tobacco addict to just cut down on cigarettes. It’s a double standard that smacks of hypocrisy and self interest.
Obesity statistics continue to climb and fewer slim people appear in the malls every day. Nobody wants to acknowledge the truth. Take a good look around. Carbohydrates foods are slowly killing us. If that doesn’t get us, Type2 diabetes will. Yet the people who should warn us because they know better are getting ready to launch the next big diet.
Self proclaimed experts ask carbohydrate addicts to eat a particular food wisely, or to concentrate only on low carb foods. This is like asking a starving person to eat only orange food, or asking an alcoholic to have only one drink a day. It is unrealistic and can only further add to the confusion and despair suffered by the addict.
Carbohydrate addicts do not need a diet. What they need is a cure for their addiction. As long as the addiction prevails, there is no solution to a weight problem and the addict will continue to grow fatter.
The fact is, our body was not designed to diet. To the body it is perceived as a famine. The natural response to a famine is to slow down the metabolism and conserve fat. Once the famine is over, the body will recover the lost weight as soon as you let it.
Obesity statistics will continue to climb till it is realized that carbohydrate addicts must deal with their addiction before they can expect to deal with their weight problem. In fact, the addiction cure will take care of their weight problem.
