[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"hypoglycemia" and get shaky....try eliminating all grains and sugar and get your carbs from veggies and more of your calories from fat.  The first week or so you will feel AWFUL as your body remembers how to switch from glycogen metabolism to using your fat stores for energy, but after that it will be fine.

I think of hypoglycemia as your body's "panic attack"  OH NO THERES NO MORE SUGAR WHAT DO I DO? but if you wait through it, it will go away.  It isn't easy but is very doable once you realize what is going on.[/quote]

I have this problem too, and I am totally addicted to sugar. What veggies have carbs? I really need to work on this. Not the OP, sorry to hijack...[/quote]

Good carb-y veggies:  butternut squash, sweet potatoes, white potatoes if they are baked. But I eat paleo, so avoid beans and legumes too. If you don't, then I would eat beans over white potatoes. Most of your energy should come from fat metabolism. This means decreasing circulating glucose and insulin---insulin inhibits fat metabolism, so if you are always snacking or never going more than 3-4 hours without food, your body doesn't switch over and use your stored fat.

If you exercise before you eat, you are going to use stored fat for energy and lose fat. If you just decrease calories, you will also lose muscle mass as well. You have to be willing to be hungry, though, and know it isn't the end of the world. It takes some getting used to.

Go look at marks daily apple online. He is the best of the primal/paleo people. [/quote]
