[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1855845, member: 220230"] I think you need to take your lifestyle into consideration too. In the early days after my RH diagnosis, I got some fantastic advice from the good people on this forum and reduced my carbs. In my case, I couldn’t get through the “carb flu” period, with days where I was so tired and could barely put one foot in front of the other. I decided to reintroduce some carefully selected carbs and test my bs LOTS. For me, a very low carb breakfast leaves me tired all morning. On a normal day, I walk the kids to school within 40 mins of eating breakfast and therefore a small amount of carbs works well for me. My perfect breakfast is full fat Greek yogurt with a small amount of no added sugar muesli (no dried fruit), half a dozen each of raspberries and blueberries, almonds and a sprinkle of cinnamon, washed down with my one and only white coffee of the day. The mix of fat, carbs and protein gives my blood sugar enough of a boost for my morning walk, but doesn’t spike me high enough to result in a hypo later. I eat breakfast around 8am and most days this keeps me going until lunch at 1pm. I eat 3 main meals a day, with the occasional snack in between (just a small bite of something if required). All main meals include a very small amount of carbs and as long as I don’t get greedy [emoji849], I am virtually symptom free. Be gentle on yourself, reduce your carbs slowly and test your blood sugar lots to see what works for you and the lifestyle you lead. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
