Okay, Tired of It.. I'm Going to Just Eat Meat.
Posted: 04-24-07 20:31pm

I cannot eat any type of carbohydrate without feeling like absolute s*** 5 minutes later.. I can't eat vegetables, nuts, anything without feeling bad a few minutes afterwards. So I'm just going to eat meat from now on.

I have no other choice!! well, no other choice until my adrenals are fixed and my hypoglycemia will go away.. but for now, I'm going on an all meat diet, and the health risks going with that have to be better than the way I feel when I eat any type of carbohydrate.

There aren't really any risks on that diet. However, you cannot drop below 60g of carbs a day, otherwise you're going to feel worse. Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid feeling like crap at first in many cases, you have to keep eating healthy and wait for it to dissipate. I suggest increasing vitamin c intake through vitamins to 1g per day.

Okay, well I typed that during one of my hypoglycemic episodes.. I'm eating carbs again, but I'm being very careful with my intake. I eat about 2 tablespoons of vegetables and a piece of meat. And if I still feel bad after 10 minutes, I'll eat another tablespoon, etc. until I get it right. It seems to be working well!

Be careful of what vegetables you're eating. Try eating about 2/3 cup of italian cut green beans with your meals, there should be no problem with them. Or brussels sprouts (6), if you like them.
