This is my first post. Very happy to be here! I've had RH for 20+ years as far as I know. I am just trying the low carb diet as of today and the results are instant. The preceeding few days were swings from high 6's and 7's to low 3's with really bad hypo symptoms and today, I've stuck strictly (for the first time) to almost no carbs and I've been at 4.8 pretty much all day with no noticeable symptoms. I don't have diabetes btw. It's shocking how well this is working for me. When I did a GTT a few years back I got down to 2.1 after 2 hours. I've tried to follow the standard advice of many meals per day with complex carbs etc. and it just didn't work . I've been misdiagnosed for many years with all sorts of various conditions and disorders and have been lots of drugs that have not done anything but cause terrible side effects or at best, nothing.
I am in the process of booking in with a dietician to work out how to safely change my diet. I seriously can't believe how well this has worked for me today. I didn't expect it at all.
I'm interested in the fasting idea but don't know much about it. The idea of 2 or 3 meals per day also sounds great to me compared with the alternatives which haven't worked for me anyway. I'm afraid to eat anything right now as today has been so good and I don't want to cause a hypo.
I've been reading the threads on here all day and I relate to a lot of what I'm reading. Thanks for sharing everyone.
