Lightbulb Gettin' Stupid here

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]
Hi all,
I am new. I have a different challenge than most I am reading. I am hypoglycemic like many people here. I have been doing the diet for a few days and lost around 4 lbs. But here is the thing.. starting to get stupid from lack of carbs. Not the diets fault.. all mine. I can't think of a carb to eat. I am overdoing it on the low carb diet, and starting to get really empty headed. I can't think of a darn thing in my house to eat that won't blow my diet, but I need to eat something soon here. I don't care much about food, I just need it to be quick, so I can feel better & plan my diet instead of just winging it.
Does anyone have a suggestion? What a silly way to get started.

Eggs are always easy for me. One of the things holding me back from going low carb was the very thought of eating eggs without toast! Some how I got past that and now eat eggs w/o toast all the time. Throw in some cheese &/or veggies to make it more interesting! Also, make sure you are getting your water!

Hi. The carbs you should be eating is easy: vegetables. Here is the acceptable foods list for induction - scroll down a bit for the veggie list.

Thanks! This morn while I was feeling better I checked my carb intake for yesterday, and I believe it was around 16g. So, I am on track. I think the hypoglycemia just gets in the way a touch. I am sure it will even out, and I will be normal again <so to speak.. grin>
