I just ordered a pizza and I am writing this while waiting..
I know white flower is bad, it is like refined suger, all glucose molecules in the blood at once, causing an insuline response that makes you tired. Except that I go to the gym after dinner, so I will be using about 400 of those carbon calories intantly. This is why diet is so complex. I don't want to give up pizza for a mirage.
I will do a no grain trial in the future to find out. Thanks again for the suggestion!
Do you agree with my story of WHY refined grain is BAD? Or am I missing something? (Assuming I can handle grain in general)

I like bold claims! As long as they are true...
I guess I will have to accept these big individual differences. It was such I nice idea that we where all alike.
Another hypothesis is that maybe all foods are equally healthy, and that only wrong consumption like overeating and monotony are BAD. Every thing breaks down to the same aminoacids, carbo-hydrates, minerals and vitamins. So the only BAD thing could be wrong quantities for the body at the time. Like the pizza example. A office worker needs a different dinner than a factory worker.
I research some of the additives on the canned soup I had yesterday. They seemed harmless: pressed seeds, pretty close to natural stuff.
Maybe there are no toxins in normal foods (excluding growth hormones and stuff). In that light the detox effects of a diet change can be explained by the body adjusting to different quantities of building blocks, which are then interpreted as detox effects. Do you think that could be the case? Does anyone else?
I SO MUCH want to believe that it doesn't matter what you eat! Or said differently, I intuit it does not matter, and my trials confirm it for my body so far...
I will find the best diet for me!
EDIT: Oh, it's saturday night, and the gym is closed...
I guess I have to go out and have fun then! There are sooo many interesting ways to burn away a pizza!
