[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1858669, member: 355878"] Yes, you are living on carbs and carbs, once digested, cause insulin to be released, - with RH either the insulin is ignored for a while, and the pancreas pumps out more, or the pancreas overreacts anyway - with the same result, when the insulin is finally effective your blood glucose drops rapidly, you feel hungry and a bit off or strange, so you eat more carbs and that starts the rollercoaster ride all over again. The trick is to eat things which are fairly invisible to the glucose control system - roasted chicken thighs for instance, sausages, bacon or any meat really - or fish, shellfish, cheese - eggs are usually OK but maybe not for you, but there are lots of low carb foods salads and veges which produce only minor reactions. You must be eating hundreds of grams of carb as sugars and starches, and although we are [I][B]told[/B][/I] that it is the healthy option - it is the same sort of diet used to fatten up animals so I don't see the logic in advocating it for people who want to live long lives and not get fat. Atkins was the first way of eating I saw in print which backed up my ideal that it was the carbs responsible for my inability to lose weight. I have tried to eat low carb since the 1970s, but someone always knew better about what I ought to eat. They were wrong. When I was still lowering my blood glucose levels I got the same symptoms I had when at school and in my early 20s, which I now am sure were RH but were ignored and I was told things would settle down - which they did but not until I cut out the carbs.
