Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

0

Hi, I have hypoglycemia, ive already posted a few questions regarding this topic. Im finding at work i tend to get hypo (due to stress perhaps, im in the progess of strenghtening my adreanals and changing my enviromment) in the mean time, i find it veeerryy difficult to recover from a episode. It litterally takes tons of food to get me back on track. Do you have a food in particular that you find helps almost instantly (no fruit plz, makes me crazy), maybe im grabbing the wrong kinds of food to recover. Ive noticed eating tons of avocado really helps, but 2 a day seems excessive/expensive!

Thanks everyone, really appreciate any suggestions :-)

Eating paleo solved mine mostly. I never snack anymore and never am moody or hungry. Do the leptin reset as outlined by Dr. Jack Kruse, maybe take chromium (and TAKE MAGNESIUM), get your vitamin D level right. – Korion Jan 17 2012 at 13:07

I don't really know a particular food that would save me, though. Just resting, eating a dinner with lots of fat and fiber. – Korion Jan 17 2012 at 13:08

What are you doing to limit the bouts of hypoglycemia? – Warren D Jan 17 2012 at 13:30

Sorry im french, i dont understand what you mean :-s ? As in what im doing supplement and food wise? I limit my fruit to only after hard workouts. I eat tons of fat and protein. Im supplementing with chromium, magnesium, adrenal tissue/gland. Is this what your wondering? – Steph Jan 17 2012 at 13:44

Steph, yes, that is basically what I was asking. What kind of fat are you eating? Is it mostly the fat that is attached to the meat you are eating? I have found fatty meat the best thing and no longer get hypoglyemia problems. – Warren D Jan 17 2012 at 14:22

you do not appear to me to be digesting... cortisol knocks out gut and pancreas function. try digestive enzymes with meals (unless you have an ulcer which is contraindicated) and betaine HCl. the food you ingest cannot be helpful for raising BG unless it is properly digesting and unfortunately until things are a littlembetter you can consider 'outsourcing' that vital function until the adrenals, appropriate cortisol secretion to response, gut, pancreas/liver and brain kick back in. i think you are on the right path! i had this prob too with adrenals issues, overtraining, stress and intermittent fasting. would love to hear the progress later!!

I always eat my carbs with protein and/or fat. No problems anymore!

I've had scary bad attacks and I have to eat protein, carbs, and fat together in order to come out of it....and even then, I feel cruddy for up to 24 hours later. I read online that one bad low blood sugar attack can mess up how your body handles food for MONTHS. Ugh.

Recovering from hypoglycemia episodes!
