Reactive Hypoglycemia and numbers

nosaby

I have no problem keeping it at 1600 calories but I often go over the allotted protein and fiber as I have reactive hypoglycemia so I eat a lot of protein and fiber throughout the day. Is that an issue for weight loss? I'm not talking huge numbers.

probably not, be simpler to state the actual numbers.

For example: Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber
1,189 161 43 52 24
Your Daily Goal 1,200 165 40 45 25
Remaining 11 4 -3 -7 1

I also have reactive hypoglycemia and I want to share with you what has worked for me. After struggling for many years, I finally found a eating regimen that keeps me completely symptom free. I completely avoid all food until 11 am, then eat 3 balanced meals the rest of the day. I found if I eat breakfast, I struggle to keep my sugars stable all day. But if I skip breakfast I feel great! I don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a try.

I, too, have reactive hypoglycemia. I stay on a schedule and make sure to get enough protein.

On a typical day, I have a Greek yogurt at 8:30AM. A handful of almonds at 11AM. Lunch (usually half a tuna sandwich and an apple) between noon and 1. Hummus and vegetables between 5 and 6PM and dinner (meat, chicken or fish) at 8PM.

I stay under 1400 calories per day.

Thank you. Protein does seem to be the key.
