Similarly, if we are raised on corn derivatives, refined grains and sugars, and sodium compounds, we will learn to live off of the same. This of course, is a good recipe for staying stupid. My advice? Find a way out. Get into organic eating. Just a thought.
Carbs fuel the cells and give them resources for repair, but most people eat way too much of them, because that's what their tastebuds and brains are wired to crave.
My suggestion? Stop eating for your own personal amusement/ comfort / and or taste requirement, and start eating as a means of supplying your cells; the building blocks of your existence; with the proper nutrients to keep functioning.
Carbs are necessary. But you can get them in the other natural foods you would consider eating if you were eating for your cells, and not your receptors.
The quantity of food you need varies on your metabolism and level of activity. However, most people do over eat. If you are fat; just to be frank; you are carrying plenty of food for a long time (though you will need to add some proteins; your stored supply is just carbohydrates.)
Only if you are extremely active do you really need a lot of food. We don't like to be too skinny in modern culture, but if you find yourself wasting away, like me, that is a good chance to take control of the situation, and build a little muscle for yourself. Just takes the proper physical disciplines, and right eating.
There's a reason nitrous wastes and other valueless non-foods are pooped out. The body doesn't need them!!! It needs them to be far, far away!
So, if you are taking rather sizeable dumps all the time, you are eating too much, and of the wrong things. Try again. The cells that compose your being; each an organism of its own right, feed on only a few substances.
I think it all comes down to omega 3's, amino acids, and carbs. I may be wrong on this, but it matters little. If you use your feelers to eat the right stuff, you will be fed right.
I like a vegan/ vegetarian diet, because it's right for me, and may be right for you. It doesn't take a lot of energy to produce, nor to digest.
In any case, if you eat for your cells, you need a good supply of complete proteins, to supply the needed amino acids which do so much within your body.
There are all sorts of pure foods these can be found in. Quinoa is a good example. For most of us, this grain doesn't not allow for eating locally, the par for the course.
Quinoa may be one exception to consider. The shipping of it may not be sustainable any more than any other shipping will be, but we might as well use it while we have it.
There are many ways to prepare this staple. Indeed, you could make a sort of Matrix gruel out of it just by cooking it with water and nothing else.
However, if you're not quite a Jedi yet, there are endless recipes only a search click away. I have none. As of this time, I am terrible with preparing the grain according to my learned taste preferences, but I'm trying to shed those in the garbage anyway.
There are a million other healthy sources of cellular nutrients. Fresh, locally grown produce. Mushrooms. Beans. As alluded to earlier, you do not need all of the carbs people are used to stuffing into themselves for reason of comfort.
Food of that kind dampens emotions and keeps us fat, happy, and oblivious. If you want to better yourself, think of the function of what you put into your body and not the taste. Taste matters little, when you have acclimated and awakened yourself, and in the meantime, grin and bear it for good results to come.
I think you could arrive at the same conclusions I thought of in writing this post, by studying macrobiotics, but try to get your truth without a label. A horseradish, by any other name, is still a horseradish, is it not?
Food for thought about sparing thought for food. That's all. Salude!!!
