new illos for German magazine "Blickwinkel" about the future and ethics of nutrition. Thanks to AD Elena Reiniger!
Would you water a plant with Coke?
No.
Why?
It would kill the plant.
So why would you give it to your kids...
When you bring home a tub of Pringles, one pack of Skittles, 2 Milka block bars, and a Haribo mix bag just for you to eat on your own in your room, you know you have a sugar problem.
No.More.Sugar.
My anti-sugar campaign continues: High Fructose Corn Syrup you are up to no good. You're cheap, you're ubiquitious, and you are ruining the lives of my patients. If you haven't read about the dangers of fructose, brush up on some info from Gary Taubes (among others).
Look at what we consume! It's disgusting. For everything you consume so much of, taking in less of something else. What are we leaving out, so that high fructose corn syrup and sugar can fit in?

You're cutting down sugar and carbohydrates, in order to lose weight?
You MUST exercise regularly and eat nutritious diet, containing good fats. Otherwise your body will break apart your bones and muscles for energy!
Learning what makes you crazy...
I've been going paleo/primal for a little over a month now and I've loved it. I haven't felt consumed by thoughts of sugar, ice cream, cookies or cake and it feels amazing. I don't feel like I'm 'restricting myself' I feel like I'm free! I recognize when those cravings pop up and well I deconstruct them instead of following them. If I think 'I want ice cream right now,' I pause and go 'well...what's been going on today? I'm not really hungry. Do I just want this because today totally sucked and all my patients were late and I fell behind? Yeah that sounds about right..."
It's been a whole month of awesome. My version of my eating plan is paleo with a little dairy (not every day) and some alcohol (mostly wine).
Flash forward to this past weekend -- We went to stay at a bed and breakfast. I realized the place we went was Vegetarian only when I booked it but I thought it'd be fine. I like eggs and vegetables--it'll be fine. No problem.
The closer it got to the trip I realized/wondered, OH NO! What if they are THOSE kinds of vegetarians... You know the kind.
-----Carbo- low protein- fake-food- no whole actual vegetables in sight- vegetarians.
Sadly, they were :(
They served lots of whole grains, but yeah...this was not a paleo-perfect weekend. By Sunday, I was craving sugar left and right. This is after one small serving of whole wheat pasta and a small scoop of ice cream (I was actually fine after that). The next day I had a bite of marscapone cheesecake (light fluffy not too sweet...) was fine after that. THEN what kicked me over the edge was the third day when I had whole wheat waffles. I went refined/carbo/crazy after that. I didn't actually eat any more that day but I just WANTED IT. I was totally drawn to it. I felt insane. I wanted cookies candies cake and ice cream by the time I got home last night and it SUCKED.
I don't feel like I've been restricting or depriving myself. I just feel like I've been making amazing choices for my body. I've been happy with it and I've seen some great results so far. My sugar demons have been at bay which is the mental relief you can't actually SEE. I know now one day, even two days, with a little higher carb even refined sugars is okay...but three days--no way. Shit got cray.
