[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2114953, member: 85785"] Hi again, hope you are coping better now you have reduced your carbs, it will make a difference, you just have to stick with it, have the episodes of Hypoglycaemia reduced? An intolerance is a food, that causes your blood sugar levels to go up and down, it also triggers the brain to compensate for low glucose and low insulin as the imbalance of hormones effect blood sugar levels. The symptoms are the effect of the roller coaster ride of blood sugars fluctuating up and down. This is how I stay away from going hypo, no carbs, intermittent fasting, it does work for me. You are still in that transitional phase from carbs to no carbs. So you body is craving carbs. I would still ask why you are having hypos after breakfast if you are still eating something that you are intolerant to. I have lactose intolerance, so anything dairy, though if full fat dairy it is low carb, but most dairy products still effect me. You may not know it, that is why food diary is so important. If you would have told me that I'm potato intolerant, I would have laughed at you! Again, noodles are bad for me, so it would not surprise me that you had a hypo. In my experience, it took a good couple of months to start losing weight, again, you have just started low carb, so be patient and it will change. Then after trying very low carb and fasting, it fell off me, I went from nearly 18 stone down to twelve stone, I've been around that weight for a few years now. I don't have sugar craving! Don't feel hungry! I feel better most of the time not eating! It's called Keto adapted, when you try to get into ketosis, you can get Keto flu, which is still getting symptoms as you describe, your body has not adapted to being in ketosis, then without realising you find symptoms alleviating, you get good energy, your brain fog goes, you feel better and you should not go hypo! It is really hard and getting use to, you need strong will power. You need to get your family and friends to support you. Planning, organising, keeping temptation away, and the most important, getting your head around, that this condition can be controlled, it will not get worse, if you avoid the hypos, and if you get control, you will lose weight, your symptoms will go, you will get healthy! This lifestyle is so important to your future health! It is sustainable, it is doable, and it should not be a burden to your life's goals. You can get your life back! Best wishes, let us know how you are getting on! [/QUOTE]
