Could this be hypoglycemia when I get I in
the morning I feel light headed and dizzy
and such. Its like at certain times of
the day I feel really light headed and
dizzy. I have a history of low blood
sugar and thats probably what causes these
little symtoms. I was just wondering if
anyone could tell me what it could be so
here I am asking if you think it could be
this

Definitely could be it, especially if
you'e had a history of low blood sugar.
Are the symptoms eliminated or reduced by
eating or drinking certain things?

Okay, you probably need to just change
your diet a bit then to even it all out.
Do you have any other symptoms is or this
it? If this is it, simply reducing sugar
intake and replacing it with good grain
products should make things better in a
month or so.

What have you been eating currently? If
you tell me I can tell you what changes to
make, and it sounds like you'll be feeling
better in little time.

The main goal is to find a satisfactory
carbohydrate level that produces little or
infrequent symptoms. When you find it,
stick with it for a period of up to six
months, then you can start experimenting
with other things. If you can handle
grain products, go ahead. Look at my
diet for tips.

I Was Wondering If the Hypoglycemia Diet Made You Constipate

Hi all,
i was wondering if the hypoglycemia diet
made you guys constipated. Ive noticed
that since I have eliminated complex carbs
my system is changing.
If you have felt constipated, how have you
fixed it?

Are you eating leafy greens? You should
be eating plenty of those and that should
do the trick. Berries help with this
too. However, it depends, are you eating
high protein or high fat?

I'm eating varied veggies like 1/2 cup
green beans, 1/2 cup asparagus. 1 cup
green leafs.
Do you mean I should be eating lots of
leaves (as opposed to the veggies I
mentioned above?)
today is my 3rd diet on the diet. The
first 2 days I started the diet, since my
body was so unstable I was eating alot of
protein.
Now, I am eating less protein, possible
less than 100g protein per day. I am
consuming olive oil with every meal, and
if a meal doesn't hold me i'll have 2
teaspoons almond butter.
Also, since I just started this diet, i've
been eating 2 almonds every hour. I'm
thinking of then eating these almonds
every 1 1/2 hours, then every 2 hours, as
I start to feel better.
Why do you ask about my protein and fat
amounts?

Higher protein diets can cause
constipation, whereas higher fat diets
will not. 100g may be too high for you
depending on activity level, but you're
eating enough fat it seems so you should
be fine. I have leafy greens with every
meal on top of the vegetable I eat for the
day, as well as berries.

Also, these past three days I have been
gaining weight. I actually need to lose
about 10 pounds. I have been eating lots
of nuts, and nut butters.
Is there a specific type of fat I should
be eating or amount, that won't make me
gain weight?
I would actually like to lose some weight
with this diet.
Please advise.

I actually avoid nut butters because of
their carbohydrate content. Olive oil is
best for losing weight. The thing about
this diet is you have to be somewhat
active as well. You may need to cut back
on your olive oil a bit. That's one
thing I need to work on. On my diet,
exactly as it is, I work out almost every
day, including heavy weight lifting, 3
hour hikes and so forth. If I didn't
exercise i'd probably start putting on the
weight.

What is the best fat to eat, to lose
weight?
Is this only olive oil?
Are there other fats out there?
(like avocado, or nuts?)

Avocados and nuts are great too, all good
fat. Olive oil is probably the best of
all for what it does for the body. The
only fats to really avoid are things
present in foods you can't even eat
anyway.
