Q: What Is Your Progression?

For anyone who started the diet, what was your meal and snack interval?

Ever since I started teh high protein low carb diet, my meal intervals got shorter, I have to take a snack every hour. When I had my high gi diet I was going 2 1/2 hours.

Have you guys started short intervals and as you followed the diet your metabolism changed and your snack/meal intervals longer?

Nice, that's my plan eventually! I would add some more carbohydrates to your diet, you're too low. Is that all you're getting? Be sure to check.

Yes, I checked the bag and it says, 34g of carb per 1/4 cup.

So that would make it 136g of carb for 1 cup correct?

Ive been on about a 2-3 hrs snack or meal schedule. Any longer and I would start to feel a bit dizzy. But after been on the diet for 4 monhts now iv'e started to increase my time intervals and just today I went 5 hours without eating, with no troubles at all, during this time I went for a 3hr surf wich really takes it out of u as well.

Good job man, just be certain not to fall into the trap of thinking you can eat anything you want now or something like that. Also stick with your current eating routine.

Yeah theres no way i'll go back to my old eating habits ever. Its just not worth feeling bad for days at a time. For a few months there I got so depressed with this hypo I wouldnt leave the house thinking i'd have an attack, I pretty much sat inside a day geting really frustrated. But once u have the eating routine worked out theres nothing to fear, and now I find myself keen to get out and do all the things I used to love, like camping, surfing, bushwalking and so on.
To everyone out there whose in that depressed state I know how you feel, just work through it and stick to the diet and things will start to get better.

Stumars good job!,

i am currently in that depressed state, and I feel like I cant do anything right now. And it is very difficult for me.

What diet did you follow? In your first month?

I just cut out sugar completely, I even cut out pretty much all fruit
for breakfast I ate brown organic rice flakers or puffs with lite milk.
Snacks I ate cheese celery and carrots, lunch was always a home made salad with chicken, other snacks were nuts, then for dinner I always has fish with vegies or chicken with vegies.
Just dont eat any sugar and you should start to recover, while recovering you will have a variety of symtoms that come and go, some wich I am still getting, but this is a sign that your getting better, just stick with the diet.
