If you're only cutting out snacks but still getting your main energy from carbs, it might be worth it to look into a keto diet. If you're in nutritional ketosis, your body uses fat (your own and the kind you eat), rather than carbs for energy. That should even out the ups and downs, but it takes a little time of adjustment for your body to become a fat-burner rather than a carb-burner. You'll feel like a little old lady with a blue perm for a week or two, tired and with aches and pains everywhere, (though an electrolyte supplement can avert the worst of it) but it does look decidedly up after that. Might be worth a shot, just don't expect too much of yourself while transitioning. Keto'd also be good for any liver issues, if that is the case. Can you feel if your liver is hard by any chance? When you're laying down and your stomach muscles are relaxed, can you feel it in there? I went through various scans (CT, MRI, with contrast fluid, and an ultrasound), and it showed up there, but just the feel of the thing told me just about enough. It was like a solid, massive rock, right under my ribs. I do hope you'll feel better soon!Jo</blockquote>
