[QUOTE="Artstruc, post: 1220685, member: 263069"] After a stressful year my reactive hypoglycemia / false hypos became extreme & sent me down the diabetes path. Already Paleo, going VLCHF & morning fasting got my BSL stabilized until I realized the dawn phenomena was the reaction to fasting stress. Leg cramps, tight chest & obsessive thoughts upon awakening led me to challenge why cortisol was dumping glycogen from the liver then insulin from the pancreas in a continuous BS battle. Magnesium [low, with zinc in blood analysis] provided instant relief but very hard to assimilate enough over a long period. I had presented typical symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue. Well may LCHF or Keto be denigrated as fad diets. But with all the current bias directed at the obesity / diabetes epidemic it is very hard to filter out a normal diet as a life long skinny living on sugar. [I]Some[/I] carbs are necessary to moderate the livers glycogen [I]reserves[/I] & preserve adrenal function. Lots of green leafy vegetables are good but we also need some carbs to provide the prebiotic fibre for a healthy [I]varied[/I] gut biome. I adapted a more frequent, small meal plan. Protein itself, when keto adapted is enough to sugar spike with gluconeogenesis [not glycogenisis]. Kale eggnog or spinach frittata, liver or sardines if I am working. Always preceded by Apple Cider Vinegar & lime juice. [/QUOTE]
