Hypoglycemia

webb30121 Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/11/25	2004/11/25, 10:23 PM I am trying to find the right fit of exercise, food and supplement for Hypoglycemia. I am supposed to lean more toward complex carbs and eat smaller quantities several times a day. The fat burners in my body slow down due to the over production of Insulin which causes my body to store fat. Any helpful hints on the supplement area and where to find a good dietary menue of foods and meals to fix?

The high intake of complex carbs was old thinking. You should find a baseline amount of carbohydrate that will produce no or infrequent symptoms while providing you with the nutrients you need. You should to be concerned about the glycemic index of foods. The glycemic index is a list of how certain carbohydrates effect blood glucose. Those with a high glycemic index cause a greater rise in blood sugar. Those foods with a low glycemic index have a low rise in blood sugar. I would suggest a no-sugar, hi-protein, low carbohydrate diet (no wheat products, pasta or rice; eating lots of seeds and nuts, vegetables, protein; eating fats-butter or oil with starches such as quinoa, amaranth, millet, etc. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I quit smoking with no problem now I have to get my body right. Any sites that can be recommended for recipes? Foods that are best and foods that are the best?:)

Another good site is Dr. Roizen.com. The solution is to eat whole foods not processed. Let your stomach do the processing. Good Luck. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!) Montreal Canada (City of Festivals)

Or do you monitor your blood sugar levels via your symptoms,(how you feel)? The normal ranges(fsbs),80-120 for the average adult. Consider keeping a food journal combined with your blood sugar levels. This will help you create a diet that works for your metabolism and activity levels. bb1fit's advice to eat low glycemic foods is very important.
