[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2261518, member: 41816"] Hi, how are you feeling now? sorry about the hypo. Did your bg come back up with the yog and nuts? Blood glucose often dips to its lowest point of the day in late afternoon. A lot of us find we get our lowest readings before our evening meal. If you are feeling rough like that then you definitely need to make some changes. As I see it, you can either reintroduce carbs, and return to where you were. or you can make some changes/do some more research into how to make the low carb thing work for [B][I]you[/I][/B]. Obviously, it needs to be your choice, and you need to be eating foods that work for you and your body and blood glucose. if you have a google into the things that go wrong when switching to keto, you will hear of something called keto flu, this is generally a transition period where the body adjusts to feeling with fat and needs more electrolytes and we just feel rough. It can take a while (weeks) for our bodies to learn to properly switch to fat as fuel, and of course it needs to be eating plenty of both fat and fuel in order to do so (unless it can draw on copious amounts of body fat, which not everybody has). In your situation, I would be probably attacking this from all sides. Eating more overall. Probably a lot more. Adding butter and oil and mayo to veg and salads. Eating nuts and full fat cheese and pate as snacks, if I felt the need. Adding cream to coffee. Making low carb hot chocolate with cream in it. Adding low carb desserts or finishing a meal with cheese. Have a google for keto mug cake recipes. Yes, you CAN eat cake while low Carbing. Plus I would be making sure that I was getting those electrolytes as added salt on food, and/or drinking bone broth. [/QUOTE]
