She writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I am an overeater. I have Binge Eating Disorder. I am a Stress Eater.<\/p>\n

And I think I have found a way, finally to help myself. That is to eat carrots. Mind you this hasn’t gone on too long – probably for 2 weeks now, but this is an amazing way to help those of us with Binge Eating Disorder, Stress Eating Disorder, and Overeating Disorder.<\/p>\n

I’m triggered by foods such as sweets or cheese. Once I start eating them I can’t stop, and I go past the point of no return. There is no help out there for people like me, well until now.<\/p>\n

In addition, I also have hypoglycemia, as well as IBS. I do think they are all related.<\/p>\n

I started eating carrots about 2 weeks ago. Just on a whim I went to my local Lucky’s supermarket and bought some Grimmway Baby Carrots in the 4 pack. "I’ll try it", I thought. "Why not, can’t hurt, and I like carrots".<\/p>\n

So instead of my usual tries with spiking up my blood sugar levels when I feel low, I tried carrots. And I found that I got energy from them, and didn’t crash from them. Then I started reading more, and found out that carrots help regulate your blood sugar levels! Wow, now this is really an EXCELLENT thing. Even better than I thought!<\/p>\n

Lots of stuff about how good beta-carotene is for you, prevents heart attacks, etc., Vitamin A being great for your skin, etc, etc etc.<\/p>\n

All this was really great stuff, but didn’t apply to me. I need things to help me with my low blood sugar levels, especially when I want to faint or pass out. I need something to help me with overeating (my original thought when I was buying carrots), and just stopping eating doesn’t cut it either. I’ve been to OA (Overeaters Anonymous) and I even had my own OA group. While it really helped me with my mental issues, I was never able to stop overeating, except at the very very beginning of the OA program. <\/p>\n

And IBS! This is an added benefit of eating baby carrots. Wow does it HELP me with this. If my stomach hurts I reach for carrots. After I eat a regular meal, I eat carrots. And the carrots soothe me, and fill me up.<\/p>\n

I find that I’m eating less portion sizes of foods because I’m pretty filled up with baby carrots. And when I want a snack – I reach for carrots.<\/p>\n

Carrots also give you energy as well. I can attest to this as I get low and de-energized a lot due to having hypoglycemia, I pretty much have to eat hourly. So then I’ll have a bag of carrots, and I feel better immediately.<\/p>\n

A 3 ounce bag of Grimmway Baby Carrots is just 35 calories. The bags that I buy come in a 4 pack size, and these particular carrots are not woody tasting. They’re juicy and delicious.<\/p>\n

Lately I’ve been keeping a weight record. I weigh myself in the mornings and evenings usually, and I’m finding that there’s some movement down the scale. I’m hoping this will really help me in that area as well.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I eat carrots as often as I please. If I feel anxiety and want to eat, I go for carrots. If I want to snack, I go for carrots. BTW, carrots help de-stress you and the crunch is also helpful to destress you as well. That’s what the research says.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re reading this, try baby carrots, and see if it will help you!<\/p>\n
