If you've been diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia or Idiopathic Postprandial Syndrome, hopefully by now you understand the connection with diet and how important it is eating the proper food on the proper agenda.

If you do not, I will give you a lightweight version of what you must be doing. Cut out virtually all sugars, refined foods, starchy carbohydratess, alcohol and caffeine from your diet. Indeed, it's a huge change for many people, though it is essential for you to feel good and also to be healthy. You are going to need to eat foods that are tight on the glycemic index that will not spike your blood sugar/glucose levels. You need to eat a diet very high in protein and fiber, with fats and a tiny quantity of complex carbohydrates. Eat small meals every 2 to three hours and don't skip meals! Be constant!

Also, once you do eat your complex carbohydrates, ensure you indulge in them with some fat and protein. For instance, if you eat a fifty percent a bowl of oatmeal in the morning, eat it with butter in addition to a helping of cottage cheese, or maybe even blend in a tablespoon of coconut oil. This will slow down your body's absorption and keep the insulin of yours from spiking. And as I'm sure you know, spiking your insulin will be the root of this problem. For me personally, this approach continues to be the primary factor to me feeling my best and being able to stick to a normal life and exercise.

These days, it has taken me quite a while to get my diet down, knowing what to eat and when to eat it. There had been a lot of experimentation, research and consultations with dietitians, physicians (which didn't help at all!) as well as nutritionists. Once I got the diet lower (for probably the most part what I described above), which was simply for everyday living. At this point I had to provided the right nutrition for the intense workouts of mine that I was doing including one hour weight training sessions as well as 2 hour martial arts sessions. I'd to get the diet of mine down to an exact science. In a nutshell, my diet pills (updated blog post) had to fit my activities, and my activities had to fit my diet plan.

So on the times that I weight educated and did martial arts, I ate a quarter glass of oat meal in the morning with butter along with a tablespoon of coconut oil; as well as at lunch time a quarter of a baked sweet potato with butter along with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Next, when it had been training time, right away before training, I would take two glucose tablets just before training, and two to 3 more tabs during training depending on how intense the workout was and just how I felt. In the long run, I found that approximately 5 glucose tabs worked perfectly for me.

In case you're have just been clinically determined to have Reactive Hypoglycemia or maybe Idiopathic Postprandial Syndrome (the diagnosis) of mine, I realize it is often quite frustrating, but hang in there. I suggest keeping a food journal with specific information on that which you consume along with the times that you consume. This can assist you identify what's and is not working. All the best in your journey to feeling much better and remember that the diet means everything of yours!
