depression and detox - anna

[Guest guest]

hi anna, yes my blood sugar could have been low...I have low blood sugar to

begin with and since changing the diet I feel it is low. Any ideas on how to

help this while on the raw diet? I do eat raw nuts throughout the day. As for

as other symptoms...I often felt weak or tired at times but I attributed it

to detoxing. But the profound depression and emotion I felt was not usual for

me.

 

thanks again.

Deanna

hi deanna,

 

i keep a handle on my blood sugar by not consuming too big a serving of

fruit at a time..and spacing it out hour by hour..im a grazer..and i find

that i have no sharp climbs and subsequent drops.

 

if i am feeling funny ill ground myself with 1 T of peanut butter..not raw,

but

natural enough, and high in good fats enough, to keep me solid for about

2hrs...i use the most natural peanut butter i can find, fresh ground at

wild oats works for me....

 

it gets better though, because its an insulin resistence type of disorder

you dont want a lot of fat in the diet, and without it, the insulin works

better.

but during the adjustment period, the super low fat works so well,

that the overproduction

of insulin typical of a hypoglycemic will drop your sugar like a rock at

first..

this slows down though...the insulin gets more effective. i have very few

actual drops anymore,,even though i have smoothies with fruit..i always

add greens now though,,always...it makes tooooons of difference for me.

i havent gotten to adding flax seed oil...dont know if you need it eating

90-100%, but its probably good as a transition supplement. but ive heard

that adding it to a smoothie can help prevent sharp rises and falls in BS.

 

also, using low glycemic berries for smoothies and meals helps. the higher

sugar fruits can send you in the beginning...

 

hope this helps
