  • It is called reactive hypoglycemia. You have insulin resistance, which means basically that your body is so used to having to put so much blood glucose into cells (what insulin does in the body) that normally what is released is now too much.

  • I shook the "I need sweets" blues by not eating sugar. Humans are physiologically trained to crave sugar when they taste something sweet.

  • 40/30/30 is the zone diet. Jennifer Aniston and more celebrities liked it, but I find it very confusing.

Plus I can see what people liked about my days or can keep me on track with water or exercise. WW was way too slow and their food database is lacking so…
  • Get a probiotic, and go for a run. Eat an apple or two,raspberries are powerful too.
  • Thank you all for your replies. I ask because I am an acupuncturist, and so often I have patients with auto immune disease, and dairy and gluten are the #1 allergens that people have disease from.
