I am addicted to baby carrots..nope this isn't a joke..I started eating baby carrots about 6 months ago...sometimes 3-4lbs a week.My gp noticed it when he noticed the colour of my palms,they are slightly orange
He told me that because not all the carotene can be excreted by my liver,it shows up in the palms and sometimes around the mouth.
I began eating them because I was searching for a crunch alternative..I dont eat as many as I use too,but its gotten out of hand...no pun intended
It is a true addiction in the sense that it follows all addiction guidelines...
I realize that it has to stop and when I cut down one time I actually went through a withdrawal like phase(probably from the lack of sugar)
I have tried to replace it with other things but nothing has worked..I need to go cold turkey I guess *sigh*
