First I want to say thank you to all that have responded to my post. I really am feeling desperate and lonely in this problem here, and I feel that the way I'm eating is making me kind of cookoo.
I don't feel full eating low fat starches and cooked vegetables!!! I can eat and eat and eat, and never feel full. I need protein and fat to feel full. In addition, with all these starches, which are actually sugars, I am on a sugar high all the time! It is very ungrounding for me, makes me really spaced out, and hard to concentrate. Something is very wrong, and I am getting depressed about the whole thing. My understanding is that fruits are not good to snack on unless it is peeled apples (which don't satisfy me) or bananas, which are better, but I have never really enjoyed eating them. Dried mangoes are OK, but they are chock full of sugar! My teeth are dirty all the time from all the starches and sugars.
I never ate a high fat diet, just more fat than this diet entails. And I certainly never snacked exclusively on starches. I have never had to be on any kind of diet in my life, and I don't think it is healthy at all for my body or my mind to feel deprived like this. I don't think it is healthy for me to be this food obsessed.
HOW DO I EAT FAT SAFELY? I really can't tell if a food is bad for me or not because my symptom is mostly constipation, and not diarrhea, so any ill effects are not noticed for days, and then I have no idea what food it is that caused the problem; therefore, I am loathe to experiment because I don't want to be constipated for days like I have been in the past.
