I've found frozen mangos very cheap (about $1.67 a pound at Wal-Mart). Frozen pineapples are also cheap. They taste very good. I eat unheated honey several times a day. Most honey is highly processed. Look in the health food store for Really Raw Honey or YS Farms Honey, or some groceries have Busy Bee Honey Spread. These are cheap and tastey sources of natural sugar. No fat, either.
As for why you can eat sugar and flour without problems, you are eating protein and saturated fat with them. Try drinking a half dozen Cokes a day, a quart of orange juice, eating hand fuls of jelly beans, M&Ms, hard candy, sweetened coffee/tea, and marshmallows on a empty stomach without other foods. Also, you don't eat a lot in general. If you're a man, you sound underweight (BMI 20.6 is thin for a woman).
I wouldn't eat refined sugar and flour, just as an experiment. There's enough evidence to say that they are deficient food. You have to make up the missing nutrients somewhere else, and that can be tough. Also, most of the flour in commercial "junk food" is probably enriched and/or bleached. I eat Lindt 85% or Hachez 88% dark chocolate. They have 4-5 g sugar per 40 g serving. I don't want a lot of sugar.
I don't eat grains, except for sprouted grain bread. If I was in the mood for cookies, I would make them myself with butter, coconut oil, honey, and Hodgson Mills flour (unbleached and unenriched). I used to like raw cookie dough... |
