My view is, if you really want to eat food that is good for you, messing around with potatoes, grains, rice etc is a wate of time. Ultimately, all carbohydrates are the same in that their metabolism requires insulin. The only differences between them is the speed with which they raise blood glucose. And finding ways to minimise the blood glucose raising effect is a bit like re-arranging the furniture while the ship sinks.  |
I'm fascinated by your ideas on this. I'll actually consider eliminating all foods that require cooking. Are there others? Why have I not encountered these ideas before?
I might even agree with your analogy if I had any idea of how re-arranging furniture could actually slow the sinking of the ship. What if a ship takes 120 years to sink - is that a disaster?
