Reactive Hypoglycemia

I reported some observations about the differences between the Homeopathic HCG Steps Program I designed and am testing right now.  The first thing I reported is that I'm just not hungry and have forgotten to eat twice already.  The second thing, is I am not having *any* problems with blood sugar dropping out the bottom. Historically, I experience very low blood sugar (including the shakes and everything!) and have to eat SOMETHING fast. I try to grab a protein in those cases, but it doesn't always work. With the Homeopathic HCG Steps Program I've designed, I've not experienced that a single time this whole round. Yae!

Reactive Hypoglycemia can be caused by both hormones being off balance and the enzymes in your body being out of balance.  Here's what I do to correct the problem when I'm in VLCD.

Low Blood Sugar Troubles

I've been struggling with my blood sugar dropping out the bottom while following Dr. Simeon's Protocol. It's really because I'm detoxing right now, but it doesn't help the fact that it happens. :) One way to keep that from happening is to make sure you've always got some kind of protein around handy.

That doesn't work on Protocol, though.

What DOES work, however, is cinnamon. I take two cinnamon pills per day now, one in the morning during the "starving time" and the other mid afternoon. Those are the two times during the day that I'm most likely to experience the problem.

If you find yourself in the same spot, give that a shot and see if it works out for you, too!
