You obviously didn't read my diet.

1. Carbohydrates are limited to no more than 100g per day and no less than 60g.

2. Sugar is only an issue if there is a lot in the product you're eating and it's not a vegetable or fruit (not including starchy vegetables, which must be avoided).

3. No bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. No crackers or peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!!

5. You should not eating an entire orange.

6. Also, you may be eating what's good for you, but if it's only been a few weeks what you're feeling is natural. A number of hypoglycemics will feel better and first, and then worse for quite awhile.

Come on man.... Of course I read ur diet. Im guessing the breakfast every morning is the brewers yeast, then wait a half an hour and have some meat, olive oil, nuts, and eggs. Then wait 10-15 minutes an have half of an avacado. Its seems like a pain to have to time ur self.

Also you say every 2 hours u eat olive oil, 6 almonds, turkey, green beans, lettuce, and one strawberry. You dothat every night before bed?

I understand u increase ur berries little by little. I just cant see me getting full off that and having the ability to eat those foods every 2 hours with my job. I do real estate and am always on the go. I again appreciate u helping me and everyone out. Its just hard when u here doctors and everyone say u can have this and then other people say u cant. Im just real picky and its hard for me to find the right foods for hypo.

I don't mean you have to follow my diet, but there's a list of foods in there to avoid for optimum performance on any diet you may try. Like it or not, though, you have to make adjustments if you want this to work.

Yeah I was just going over it trying to get it all right.


Why not celery? It just has water in it right?

Oatmel ok?

I eat eggs from a carton is that bad?

I see u say no breads but I thought u have 1 slice of whole grain bread with eggs every morning.

Also u said no apples? Then I see u added a half of a slice to one of ur days.

Dont mean to be a pain stan, like I said its hard when u read stuff that contricts its self from other places.

1. If celery is on that list, I don't think it is, it's a mistake. I don't recall ever saying anything about it. Only problem with it is it doesn't have much nutritional value.

2. I've heard some people have luck with oatmeal, but I avoid it.

3. If you mean regular eggs from a dozen carton, yeah, that's fine. Organic free range with omega-3 is preferred.

4. I never said I eat bread, never.

5. I never said no apples either, someone else said that because they thought it was true. I recall it being in another post.

5. You should only be eating about one slice of toast a day at the start if you can tolerate it, and it should only be whole grain or made from sprouted grains. I, currently, eat no grain products at all because my symptoms were so bad. You may have to avoid these things entirely for awhile.

7. No apples. Again, bad to eat this fruit at the start unless you find you can tolerate it. Since you have the saw-tooth variety, stay away from it. The only fruit I suggest eating for now are strawberries, blackberries, blueberries or raspberries. They are small, compact, and already in little portions. Apples have too many carbs and sugars for their size.

Those were the only two place on ur diet page that said 1 slice of toast and no apples.

Im just hoping I get back to normal. I had a bad day today thats why I posted. I know u said u will experience some bad days during the recovery process. I need to start counting the carbs. Thanks again man.

Oh, I see what that is. Those were responses to someone's questions, but the questions aren't posted there. He was eating like two apples in a row and I told him to avoid them. Apples are fine, but you can only have them in pieces, like one half of a slice. I'm serious. I didn't say I have bread, I said if you want bread it should be no more than that. It would be best to separate it into smaller pieces and spread it out through the day or eat the whole piece later in the evening. And make sure to check the label of your bread. If it's not organic and unprocessed stay away from it. I screwed myself up this way when I was eating bread before. I got organic, whole grain bread, without looking at the label. It had honey in it and I wasn't aware of it because I simply assumed they didn't add any sugar. Never assume anything.

That rush going to your head that your talking about.. Ya I feel it. Its been off and on for the last 3 months. I felt it moreso in the beginning.

Hi Stan where do I find your diet??

wdiguy you should eat more fat
You have two main energy sources: fats or carbs. When you decrease carbs you must compensate with more fats.

Try avocados as they're sugar stabilizer.
Don't eat lean hamburgers and try fattier chicken meat. Add pork fat or heavy cream to your eggs. Put a lot of oil in your salad.

You must carefully chose fruits.
My suggestion is not to have more than half a piece of fruits every four hours. Also you should never eat fruits on an empty stomach.

Orange are not that good, diabetics are suggested to avoid them. They're very high in sugar even if that's masked by the citric acid and they have quite a strong glycemic impact.

The best fruits to eat are strawberries, blackberries, cramberries, raspberries, peaches, nectarine, cantaloupe, grapefruit, plums and apricots.

Worse fruits to eat are pears, pineapple, oranges, cherries, grapes, figs and banana, in this order according to Glycemic Impact

The morning is the moment of the day in which you must avoid at all cost high glycemic impact foods and a sugar spikes. This is due to something called the Dawn Phenomenon. So the most important thing you can do is to make your breakfast a perfect breakfast. I would remove the bread.

You must spread your carbs along the day.
It's of no help to eat a 50 grams of carbs meal and a 10 gram of carbs meal. Spread them evenly. Eventually what makes the difference in how sugar spiking your meal is, is the total amount of carbs.

So you can have four meals a day and 15 grams of carbs at each meal. 1 big orange alone has more carbs than that.

Try not to mix fat with refined starches (toast with butter) because that would increase the I:C (insulin to carb ratio) of your meal causing blood sugar to stay elevated for longer and a greater insulin response.

Don't rely on concentrated carb sources alone to get your carbs. Try veggies that contain enough carbs but don't spike your blood sugar. Good choices are artichokes, asparagus, zucchini, squash, pumpkin, cauliflower, snow peas.

Try to eat something before going to bed, like a piece of cheese. This will avoid adrenal rebound effects during the night as well as night terrors and nightmares or anxiety.

Rememer that an hypoglycemic episodes feeds the next hypoglycemic episode while balance after a meal promote the balance of the next meal. This is know as "the second meal effect". For example a low glycemic impact meal promotes a better glucose tolerance at the next meal.

This also means that a good low impact supper promotes better glucose tolerance and stability at the next day breakfast.

Remember that you need to eat enough, you don't want to starve yourself. Don't stuff yourself to the point of feeling bloated but don't have a starvation low calorie diet either.
