Does anyone have any thoughts on the following?
I have hypoglycemia - blood test measured in the 30s with low-normal insulin. I’ve been following many of RP’s principles for 6mos now. Overall I’m doing really well- putting on muscle, way better cognitive ability, temps and pulse are increasing, etc. However, when I drop bread I am unable to keep my blood sugar up.
For example today I had
B: OJ, collagen, gruyere cheese, and nectarine
S: Greek yogurt with honey
L: OJ, collagen, gruyere, and blackberries
S: carrot salad and nectarine
I started to get the typical glucose-starved brain cognitive effects after the last snack. My BG was 72, so not terribly low, but once I start going low, I crash hard. After eating a bunch of waffles with maple syrup my BG is back up to 112 and I feel way better - my brain is working again and the “lights” don’t feel turned down. If I keep eating fruit my BG will continue down with some small spikes up on its way.
I ordered flour that’s unenriched, unrefined, and unbromated to do a test of if it’s the flour itself or something it’s enriched with. Though I do use energin transdermally daily.
I’m 5ft 107lbs macros are P 90 C 215 F 65
