Cookin' It Up!

Day 1 and 2 LBS Menu

Sorry it took so long to get this posted. Here is the breakdown of what I ate Monday and Tuesday and how I feel.

Monday:

Cottage cheese, Oat bran, celery w/ cream cheese, tuna steaks and salad, swiss cheese, celery w/ cream cheese, salad and Italian Casserole, swiss cheese. All these things included no flour, no sugars, and no fruit. I woke Monday morning with my normal headache and achy body. I got a really bad headach mis afternoon and had to go take a nap. I slept for an hour and slept hard, which is unusual for me. I went to bed fairly early too. I drank water all day and took a 1/2 mile walk.

Tuesday:

Cottage cheese, cooked oats, fresh broccoli, cauliflower, and bell pepper, chicken and dumplings, green tea, meatballs with stir fried green beans and mushrooms. I goofed with the chicken and dumplings at a restaurant. I didn't eat my bedtime snack because I was in bed by 7:30. Stomach felt yucky and I was very tired. By dinner time I couldn't sit up anymore.

This has been very hard, but I really want to feel better. I'm tired of living like this. I am pretty sure all the headaches and stomach issues are from sugar withdrawls. A few more days and I will hopefully be feeling a lot better.

I have found since I too have hypoglycemia, that if I eat a very low fat diet, eat often, and keep jelly beans around I do fairly well. Good luck!

I gave up sugar a few weeks ago, it was really hard but worth it. I did have a few days of headaches and feeling yucky (from withdrawals) but after that I felt really great. Well, that last a little over a week but then dh went on vacation and that ruined me. So, I am starting over again (tomorrow). I felt so much better without the sugar in my body and I noticed I wasn't as hungry as I was before, I didn't want to snack all the time. Keep it up, it will get easier and it is so worth it.
