Hi ItsTheWoo:

Thank you for confirming what I thought. There's balance to everything and while we want to control insulin, we don't want insulin levels to go too low due to the antagonistic actions of cortisol and adrenaline. I was certain I'd read my "theory" from SPII but I couldn't find her quote when push came to shove.

I find it very strange that the Atkins Center wouldn't have any knowledge of this. I did a search here and found several people with similar symptoms, so I find it hard to believe that they've NEVER come across it. Weird. At least I was able to tell them that increasing my carbs resolved the problem after they tried giving me the company line.... we don't diagnose problems.

Since I mostly get this when I'm lifting weights now (I'm not on Induction), it would be a good idea for me to carbup pre-workout.

Good thought about the electrolytes too. I've always supplemented with potassium and I drink 3 liters of water a day.

Thanks again,
Wanda
