    That's why people are afraid of carbs but in reality a starch-based diet isn't going to make you fat or give you diabetes.

    I suggest you take the time to really learn about diabetes and what is really a "starch" food and how starch foods are often really high in carbs; which arent always good.

    And the best thing is that I can look at them and not get hungry - but I know if I want to have them I can, and still lose weight :bigsmile:

    yep! a thread like this just reminds me to make room in my future meal plans for some of these treats. that may be tomorrow or a week from now or a month from now. knowing "i can eat them if i want them" is a much healthier thing than excluding them completely. it's that restriction that leads to obsessing about them, which leads to binging.

    obviously, people with medical conditions should follow their doctor's orders w.r.t. dietary intake of carbs, but for the rest of us, the only reason to avoid completely foods like these should be because you don't like their taste.

    1.) What more nourishing food is being crowded out of the diet? 2.) Isn't getting "happiness" from food part of the problem?

    Oh enough with the "nourishing" mantra already. If the only purpose of food was nourishment then we should all just be popping pills or shakes to give us everything we need instead of eating real food.

    The reality is that most people actually enjoy eating. It is about more than just "nourishment" and it is perfectly easy to get all the nutrients you need and still have some calories left over for food you eat for sheer pleasure.

    I can't help but feel that anyone who sees food purely as "nourishment" has serious issues in their relationship with food. For me that is the first step towards an ED.

    Must make risotto soon :bigsmile:

    Risotto! One of my favourite meals to eat on a Friday night to carb-load before a big hike the next day. I tried low carb a few years ago and my body just couldn't cope with intense exercise. My legs stopped working 3,000ft up a mountain one time. The only thing that got me down off a rock face was a can of Coke and a banana my boyfriend had in his rucksack (he's a roadcyclist and is the first to sing the praises of carbs. And he is super fit and slim).

    Carbs are awesome. I love making risotto as it requires wine - so I have two of my fav things together. I find it so relaxing just stiring the risotto and sipping a glass of wine. Bliss when I'm stressed and need to unwind :bigsmile:

    Hmmm May have to make some on Saturday. Roasted butternut squash risotto. It's a plan. :drinker:

    Nom nom nom! My fave is to add peas, feta, pesto and some rocket (let it wilt and cook). Then top with raw rocket and cubes of fried chorizo. Never done it with butternut squash but going to have to give it a go (BBC website for recipe perhaps?).
