Hmmm...that's really interesting. I wonder if your body built up some kind of intolerance to grains and starches, or something along those lines. One of my good friends is totally allergic to sugar...it makes her really sick.

I guess I may just be projecting some of my own issues on to you, because I know that I've struggled with overcoming a "carb phobia" since my eating disorder, and this diet isn't exactly low-carb, or Atkins friendly.

In answer to your question, I ate no starches or sugars for a long time not because of how they made my body feel, but because of my eating disordered mentality, and admittedly, because of a lot of literature I'd read on low-carb and low G.I. diets. I still struggle to get past the idea that some of the foods that really soothe my tummy (like breads and potatoes) are not "bad." But with the help of this diet and this website, I'm starting to reverse some of that thinking. In fact, I've come to realize that some of the only foods that were "safe" to me as an anorexic (like salad, for example) are actually harmful to my body right now.

I'm glad to hear that you give in sometimes to what your body craves...for me, it's been really starchy things, but for you, it sounds like it's more fatty foods, which your body probably really needs...it's all a process of "unlearning" our diet mentalities, and learning to listen to our bodies, and let them tell us what we need. It can be confusing, but it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job.
