I Need Help With the Diet. Posted: 08-17-06 14:02pm
Okay I cannot get this diet straight. I
started to feel better for a little bit,
but now I feel really bad. My
concentration and focus at work is gone.
It sucks. I guess im not following the
diet right. I wake up in the morning have
3 eggs scrambled and 1 slice of wholegrain
toast with butter. 3 hours later I eat
raw almonds, a whole orange, and alot of
hamburger meat. 3 hours later from that I
will eat some chicken or other meat and a
salad w/ oil and vinegar dressing. When I
get home from work at 6 oclock I have a
salad , chicken/meat and an orange. I
drink water throughout the day and thats
it. Someone help me, im really picky with
vegetables. I started to see the light
when I started the diet but its so
frustrating when u get symptoms out of no
where. My whole body is outta whack and
its messing me up. My sugar level is
dropping way to quick, I can tell I start
to get grumpy and after I eat it starts to
relieve it. Its like I feel the food
trying to fix the problem. But its just
hard to stablalize .I also have a couple
questions maybe someone can
answer............
When any of u guys eat something do you
feel it going to ur head? I know it
sounds weird but its almost like my brain
has no glucose and when I eat something I
feel it rushing to my head to give me
energy.
Also is peanut butter and celerly okay?
I have dietians saying I can have cheese
and crackers and this and that, and I have
to argue with my parents that I cant have
that. But the dietians say its okay.
This is really hard to comprehend. I hear
eat things with no sugar, it seems like
everything have some sort of sugar in it.
And how many carbs should one be eating a
day? Can someone make this diet dummy
proof?

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.
