Imagine you are in a tug of war with the Carbohydrate Monster. Grab the rope with both hands. The Carbohydrate Monster is very big, very ugly and very strong. Between you and the Carbohydrate Monster, is a giant pit, the pit of sweet and starch binging and self-loathing. If you lose the tug of war, you are going to get dragged into the pit, binge on sweets and starches and hate yourself. Ready? The harder you pull, the harder the Carbohydrate Monster pulls back. You pull harder, the Carbohydrate Monster pulls harder. You are spending your life in tug of war with the Carbohydrate Monster. Pull harder. Pull even harder. Now do yourself a favor. Drop the rope.
