I did not sleep well because I had had such a Hypoglycemic Episode yesterday, the tremors and the heart beating out of my chest symptoms continued, causing panic attack, and trouble sleeping... so this morning I took all my vitamins before I left for work, then cleaned up a container of strawberries, and ate them for breakfast... they tasted like candy!!!! I'm drinking a large cup of Iced Tea with a packet of Sweet n Low...
I read up on these episodes... seems it is normal for someone who is either Insulin Resistant (which I have PCOS, and I have been for a long time) and Pre-Diabetic (which I am), to have these huge blood sugar drops when beginning a Low Carb diet... and that it is recommended to have Glucose drinks or tablets on hand to help.... so today I will be picking up Glucose tablets from the pharmacy when I'm on my lunch break...
Yesterday I did not eat enough too... which probably also didn't help.
I had a piece of crustless spinach quiche
Strawberries
5 Mini Dill Pickles
A small bowl of cauliflower mixed with cheese and a fried egg on top...
I don't believe that is enough food... I'm going to have to get stocked up on nuts, healthy small snacks...
One thing I don't know if they really tell you when you go on these low carb diets...
1. If you are really sticking to it - you'll be up all night peeing your brains out
2. You HAVE to drink water and eat high fiber veggies - maybe even some figs though they are high in sugar (but natural) because you will become seriously constipated... and uncomfortable. Mirolax and any of those fiber cures don't work for me... they cause me more pain, bloating and misery than just eating some figs or high fiber veggies and drinking lots of water...
