And to be honest, the dumbest thing I ever read is don't count calories, just eat fat until your satiated,
After thirteen bags of pork scratchings, a cheese board isn't the best thing to move onto.
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/phcuk-conference-videos.103686/#post-1192991I tried googling to find what she says about calorie restriction, unfortunately it's all behind her paywall. I would be interested to know what her conclusions are.
However, if calories don't matter, why measure your macro intake in terms of percentages?
I like Zoe, she seems like a straight talker. I would love to ask her some questions, if I can afford it I might try subscribing for a month or so to ask.http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/phcuk-conference-videos.103686/#post-1192991
Macros are important, mostly in order to control BG if you are diabetic but also if you want to be in ketosis. It's not the calories per se that are important, it's the relations between them.
Could you give a source for that chart @Art Of Flowers ?
I have a similar chart, but it dates from over 10 years ago (and used WHO stats), and I am interested to find a more recent source of the info.
Here it isThe source website is shown at the bottom of the image.

I have reactive hypo. What quesiton did I ask?Did you recent specialist visit result in any diagnosis @ghost_whistler ?
It's easier for people to make appropriate suggestions if they know what you do - or don't - have.
I have reactive hypo. What quesiton did I ask?
I didn't take any test, he looked at my history and said that's what it is.That's not very helpful of her/him. Was nothing at all said that was even a tiny bit helpful or at least gave you an idea of what to try? Did you ask for any dietary advice or did they say that you didn't need to follow any special regime?
What were your extended OGTT results? Did you have to fast?
Let me tag @Brunneria and @Lamont D so they can interpret the diagnosis you were given seeing as it sounds like you got little help from the specialist you saw.
I didn't take any test, he looked at my history and said that's what it is.
No test was discussed or mentioned.
I said that I hadn't had hypos since adjusting my diet. Not really sure what else could be done anyway, since there's no cure for hypo - certainly under current dietary guildelines.
In what way have you adjusted your diet and what does your diet look like now? Is there going to be any follow up? I would be disappointed if I had had such a brief and unhelpful consultation -please have a hug if you feel its appropriate.No test was discussed or mentioned.

noAnd I just remembered I'd also mentioned Postprandial Hypotension as you reported your hypo/woozy feeling occurred at a normal blood sugar:

Was the specialist able to comment on that? Or even if it was linked to a kind of food allergy, as you've mentioned eggs making you feel weird.
