Carbohydrate Addict’s – Where did they come from?

This information comes from the soon to be published,

The carbohydrate addicts Manual

Written by Kirsten plotkin

It’s time we officially recognize

carbohydrate addiction

and the huge health threat it poses

to those who are

carbohydrate addicts!

I have been posting a lot of videos about The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet and I suddenly realized that you don’t know much about me. I want to change that by telling you my story.

I’m a youthful, 69 year old retired grandmother. I was in business for many years and never had the opportunity to write seriously. Once I started, around 6 years ago, that all changed. I’m now just as busy writing as I ever was in my business. I have beaten my carbohydrate addiction for good and I’ll not be found in the carbohydrate addicts category ever again. At long last, I’m one of the slim people again. I no longer worry about calories or obesity statistics.

So how did I end up writing about carbohydrate addicts? Well, I became personally involved. When I was in my early 40’s I had some very minor surgery during which I suffered a cardiac arrest. Till then, I had never had a weight problem I couldn’t take care of in the gym. At that time nobody had ever heard of carbohydrate addiction and I certainly didn’t expect to one day write a book about carbohydrate addicts!

It turned out that my unexpected heart issue had caused some damage. Within 3 months of the event, I noticed I was beginning to gain weight. I upped my visits to the gym as I’d done in the past. But it became clear that although the weight was coming off, it was a lot harder than normal.

The doctor diagnosed a thyroid condition and prescribed some medication. He warned me I would always have a weight problem. Rather than depend on exercise, he referred me to a dietitian. Apparently I needed to learn a new and healthier way to eat. The possibility that this was how people became carbohydrate addicts never entered my mind. It would take another twenty years for me to understand carbohydrate addiction and how I got to be one of the carbohydrate addicts.

But back then, in blissful ignorance, I followed the doctors advice and unknowingly embarked on the road to carbohydrate addiction. For years, despite regular exercise, and sticking to the recommended diet, I slowly but surely gained weight.

When I retired, almost 7 years ago, I was around 80 kilos and suffered the early symptoms of type2 diabetes. Still, I found time to write and to think. Noticeable weight problems were beginning to affect a lot of people around me. It didn’t make sense to me and I began to think of it in connection to something significant that had happened some 20 years earlier. I also realized that type2 diabetes was not known then. Obesity statistics were not serious enough to publish then. And like me, most people did not have a weight problem then. Carbohydrate addiction had never been heard of then and carbohydrate addicts would not become apparent for some time.

Putting all this together,

I began to accept that

carbohydrate addicts were real

and I was one of them.

So I vowed to ignore all the diets, including the current ‘green’ diet philosophy and instead returned to the exact foods that were natural to me more than twenty years earlier.

Today, I’m one of the slim people. I’m no longer in the carbohydrate addicts category. I haven’t had a weight problem for almost 7 years and I no longer suffer the symptoms of type2 diabetes. I think that’s an amazing, unexpected and important enough to earn me the right to tell people about it. So as you know, I have written a book called;

The Carbohydrate Addicts Manual,

which I hope to publish online very soon!

In the meantime I have created this blog to share some of my secrets about carbohydrate addiction. I have also gone into video production, which I’m having a lot of fun with.
I reveal many new issues of concern to carbohydrate addicts. My grandkids are impressed with my YouTube presence and pretend interest in weight loss. Who would have thought – I could become an identity to the 9 -15 olds.

While waiting for my book to be published, I’m posting videos and writing articles about carbohydrate addicts and the issues they will have to face. There are some really important things about carbohydrate addiction and carbohydrates foods, that nobody else seems prepared to talk about. There’s a very good chance it’s because nobody else is around who knows enough and can put the pieces together as I have done.

Not till you know and recognize the truth about carbohydrate addicts, can you be expected to successfully deal with the problem!
