I too am vegan (not raw vegan though) and I think it's interesting that you mentioned non-GMO and organic. I'm sure that really does make a huge difference, and I'll make sure I don't eat anything that's not organic from now on. Thank you for your input :)

Thank your for your concern, but my doctor knows about it, and it isn't harmful as I generally know how to handle it. :) But thank you :)

No need to fight, people. I did some research on this, and as far as I can tell, there is no information concerning reactive hypoglycemia being "a step towards diabetes". According to what I could find on medical sites, it seemed to be that pre diabetes can be related to non-diabetic hypoglycemia in SOME CASES. And it it a…

They said nothing about calories, but when i did weigh 99 pounds they said I was healthy. 99 pounds isn't necessarily underweight. It depends on your bone structure.

Good idea! I'm now considering meeting with a specialist. Also, I noticed that sugar alcohols were on the list of foods to stay away from that you mentioned. I've been eating A TON of food with sugar alcohol in it because i've been avoiding regular sugar. That may be a huge part of my problem. Thank you very much for your…

I always thought I was the only one with that problem! Interesting to see that other people have experienced similar effects of the hypoglycemia.

Yes, eating frequently does help tremendously. I've been doing that today and it has made a difference :)

Yes, I've noticed I do feel great when i eat lentils (probably because they are so high in protein) and feel terrible after eating anything with simple carbs or thats flour-y or sugar-y. I will stick to a low- refined sugar- and- flour diet from now on! :)

1. Yes, I believe it's reactive hypoglycemia. And I will try the low carb thing :) 2. I usually eat some nuts, but I will definetly look into glucose tablets. 3. I don't have a meter, and I usually judge by feeling. But I will try to pick up a meter sometime soon. Thank you for your input. Very much appreciated :)

I am the same way! And I have noticed a correlation between the 'week before' and an increase in my hypoglycemia attacks. Very interesting. Thank you for the input! :)

I'm 18 and my goal weight is 99. Yes, I know that sounds low. But I have very small bone structure and last time I weighed 99 I looked and felt my best (and the doctor said that was an okay weight for me).

Interesting. And I'll have to get some protein bars! Thanks for your help! :)

Thanks for the advice! :) Today I will try eating 4-6 meals a day instead of just 3 and see if that helps.

Thanks for the input :) I'll give it a try!

Thank you! I'm glad i'm not the only one dealing with this while trying to lose weight. i'll try eating more often.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try :)

Very helpful! Thank you. I will definitely try following your advice.

Interesting. Thanks for your input. I'll keep that in mind.

Well there's your answer, you need to eat more. Set your MFP to lose 1lb a week and work out some to get more calories. Surely that will give you more than 1300 a day to eat. Spread your meals out carefully through the day too. [/quote] true. i just want to lose weight faster, i guess. but you're right. i'll bump up my…

im 5'4 and 122.

My hypoglycemia can get spiked very easily and crash very easily. If I don't eat enough it will become very low.

oh and i am eating a lot of protein each meal, so thats not the problem.

in general, smaller women (5'7 and under) can go down to 1350, and if they're under 4'11, even under 1100. But don't go under 1350. 1400 is pretty good and you should lose weight quickly. At first it can be hard though, because, as another poster said, water retention (i.e water weight) plays a significant roll in making…

theres one called "zero calorie soup" you can google which is reallllyyyy good for weight loss and pretty cheap. :)

Sorry what's PB2?? [/quote] its the bomb dot com. its powdered peanut butter with a fraction of the fat and calories of regular peanut butter. it also comes in chocolate and wow. its seriously amazing lol

maybe the myth wont die because its not a myth…..? i've looked at countless forums with people saying that they do, in fact burn 100 calories while asleep. perhaps it depends on the person.

you burn 100 calories while sleeping, so if you eat just before bed, you wont lose as much as you could have otherwise. but, of course you can still lose plenty of weight no matter what the timing. its really more about calories. that being said, i usually try to stop eating before eight and go to bed at around 9:30 or 10…

amys frozen meals. they make low calorie and low sodium ones. they keep me satisfied for HOURS and i never go over my calories if i eat one for breakfast with some tea :)

i ate (and drank lol) with no restraint. probably ate 3000 calories on one occasion. i went from 125 to 130 :neutral: but im back to dieting and excersizing now haha :smile:

Have you tried Garden of Life meal replacement powder? It's filling and has a lot of protein, and tons of good stuff in it! :) Drink it with a like 16 oz of water and it should do the trick :) Hope this helps!
