Ive got my sugar notes here somewhere, but the #1 sugars I avoid is table sugar & HFCS sugar.

[Fidel MD]

Table sugar is a disaccharide (two sugar moieties) made of glucose and dextrose. Fructose is far, far worse.

Fidel, sounds like the notes I made.. (and still looking for)
Why not expand on the information and teach us more? Im trying to live healthy, but Im an idiot...

Having UC, I am also trying to figure out the starch and sugar connection. Im trying to figure out what NOT to eat... have read the SCD book (Select Carbohydrate Diet), but after reading it.. sounds like I cant eat anything!

Can you help? Im miserable (UC).

Thx-
EB

Id appreciate your feedback... The video pretty much details it in a way I understand, and sounds like the symptoms I experience... about 10 - 12 times a day. Sudden onset of "need to go" (no warning, painful and pressure is over whelming), lots of gas, all liquid. This will stop you in your tracks... mid step! I have to wait for the "wave" to subside before I can get to the loo, otherwise an unpleasant experience ("accident") is 95% probable.

It even wakes me from my sleep, 2 or 3 times a night.

I dont take any meds anymore, what I was on for years pretty much quit working after the first few months, the rest of the time I kept taking them in hopes it would get better again. Im pretty sure (again, Im an idiot) Id have better results with a modified diet.

I do focus on animal protein and good fats. But if I don't count my calories i will probably eat over 5k a day. I will eat when I get hungry if I don't keep up with it. I almost always feel hungry. For example today was my cheat meal. I ate about 4k calories just for supper, and i am not full.

Hey Helo,

How much water do you drink before, during and after meals (or during the day)? I started drinking a gallon a day about a couple of weeks ago: my skin is smoother, the eczema on my calves are nearly gone and I'm rarely hungry.

I drink at least a gallon and a half of water every day. I also increased my sodium intake to 4500 a day. I can just eat no matter what I do. I love roast beef poboys, and when I eat them I eat a 12 inch, and a 8 inch, plus onion rings and I am still not full. For me to feel full I have to eat a lot of food.

In related news, I quit smoking on December 11. That's 9 days longer than I've made it in previous attempts, and at this point, while I still feel like a cig would be nice here and there, idgaf if I actually smoke one. Does that make any sense? It does to me. It means I am done! D. U. N. done.

Diet is going healthier again as well, but I haven't been stressing the total avoidance of carbs and sugars while going through the nicotine withdrawal. I'll get more strict again in a few days, after Christmas.

Great, keep it up. November 1st mad 6 years I quit smoking.

[Fidel MD]

Congrats! Take the money you save and buy something nice with it!

I quit for over a year... but then life blew up and I started again...

working on it...
