Hi, I was so happy to find this web site! I recently was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and since was following a diet that a dietiician put me on. I have been feeling weak , always tired, and sometimes not able to concentrate well. I knew that my not feeling well was food related I could feel it! My father has low blood sugar and my mother is diabetic. Anyhow I was really oping that the dietician`s plan would help stabilise my blood sugar and then feel good. To my disappointment I have felt very little if any improvement. The basic idea of the diet is eating more frequently smaller meals. , and to always eat a fruit witha proten and a carb with a protien. I still felt weak and groogy. I picked up Dr. Atkind book (he has a section on hypoglycemia) And wanted to feel the energy and increased clarity of thinking he was talking about. Well it has been three days and I feel GREAT!
I have some questions about the program. Are sunflower seeds allowed? It is kind of hard to have one tablespoon. I am having one coffee a day.(with cream not milk. right?) I know that in the book he says we should drink decaf. I only have one regular a day. Is mustard allowed? I am so used to eating my meat with ketchup that for dinner I had a steak with sour cream. I need to eat frequently am I suppose to snack on cheese and meat all day? After the two weeks how does one incorporate fruit back into the diet? Are there those who eliminate it (and carbs) completly? I also eat large lettuce salads with my meals I hope this is okay. Hope to hear from chatters soon Monica
