jittery with sugar part II

[Guest guest]

Hello,

First, thanks to all of you for your thoughts and answers. I

understand more and more that ie is about loving yourself and taking

care of yourself and trusting your feelings. This a very hard for me,

the way I am, I always put others before.

This morning I had a peanut butter toast, could not eat the second

one, I just throw it (I do throw a lot of food in the garbage and it

makes me feel a little bit guilty - I try to serve myself smaller

portions.)

The peanut butter sustained me until 10h (got up at 7h) then I ate a

big apple around 11h, with three small handful of cheese crackers - I

would usually eat the whole thing. I was hungry, but did not had any

jitters. My husband made nice rosbif sandwiches, with mayonnaise (the

real thing !) and white bread (!!!) and I could not eat them, I had

to wait to be hungry again, around 1. Then I gave him half of it, I

could not eat it. Since ie, I do feel that my diet is a litte bit

fantasist. I guess it is part of the process.

Anyhow, when I eat cheese and or peanut butter, with whole grain

bread, I feel fine. Any sugar, even a fruit juice, I noticed that

before, makes me very jittery. I was tested for diabetes when

pregnant, I was o.k., but very often when I eat sugary stuff I feel

jittery or like I will pass out. I am under the impression since

starting ie that I feel a lot better when I eat more often, smaller

portions, and no sugar unless it is a dessert after a meal.

I will test that a little more and may ask for an hypoglycemia test

at my next dr. check up.

So yes to sugary stuff for me, but after a meal as a dessert. That

when my body processes it best.

Many thanks for listening,

Nat
