There are sugars in vegetables and fruits, as well as dairy products, so our body's still get it. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

You don't have to eat junk to get them because they are naturally occuring in lots of foods..well, really almost all foods. So I wouldn't be concerned. If you think you have low blood sugars some warning signs are crankiness, being tired, feeling "off" and some people even discribe it as feeling really confused or drunk. Headaches are also a big tell tale sign as well. :) However, I'm no doctor, so if you do feel sick or think you have low blood sugars just talk to your health care professional.

If you cut carbc completely you will not have energy for your body but more importantly for your brain. Try to stay away from the simple carbs though (sugar, white bread, etc). Replace with whole grain breads (no enriched flour), etc.
