[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1502116, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome :) Have they done any investigations as to why you have RH? Or did they just say 'you have RH, go and see a dietician?' It certainly sounds as if the carb roller coaster has got you firmly in its grip. So you know what my first advice would be. :D However, you cay you CANNOT go carb-free. That leaves you (as Lindisfel says) with two other macro nutrients to play with - protein and fat. Both of them digest more slowly than carbs, which will slow the blood glucose release (google 'pizza effect' and you will see what I mean). They will also add calories. Combining carbs and fats is, traditionally, a superb way to gain weight, so that may appeal. Another factor to bear in mind is upping the fibre, because while that doesn't add nutrients or calories, it will also slow glucose absorption. Have you mapped out your individual glucose levels after eating your normal diet? Regular before and after testing, to see which foods in which portions affect you? And when your lows come? That can help tremendously. [/QUOTE]
