Hi Jerry!
I will give you a few ideas that might help you with your hypoglycemia and
might improve your weight:
Get a chart with the Glycemic Index of foods to help you choose the low ones.
AVOID: simple sugars, aspartame, processed foods, alcohol, nicotine,
caffeine, stress and high-meat-protein diets.
Put more emphasis on whole grains (O recommended), seeds and nuts.
In the morning take the Rice Protein Shake with a Low Glycemic Index fruit
such as apricots or cherries. If you want more protein you can add some
ground walnuts or other recommended nuts such as almonds.
I would wait at least 1 hour to ingest some O bread with almond or sesame
butter or any of other breakfast choices: eggs, some cheese, etc.
DR.D. advices to drink one or two cups of Licorice tea after a meal to keep
sugar levels normal. Other teas you can take are ginger, Siberian Ginseng,
dandelion, black cohosh (I don’t know if this one is good for Os though), uva
ursi or cinnamon (not in our lists either).
For lunch you can have a protein from animal source (choose again from Os and
low GI) with a green leafy salad and steamed vegetables.
Leave the evening meal mainly for your carbohydrates. Hulless barley has a
very low GI. Quinoa is one of the best cereals known; basmati or brown rice,
black beans (very low GI), garbanzo beans, and all the HB beans of our list.
You can combine the above with steamed veggies. Artichokes are an excellent
choice for you. Dandelions can be added to salads and don’t forget sprouts
(except brussels and alfalfa) which increment the nutrients up to 400%.
You want to eat cooked grains because they digest very slowly, releasing the
nutrients and sugars in such a way that the bloodstream is constantly
provided with them.
In addition to your three meals (try to eat always at the same time) take
snacks in between meals (nuts, seeds, fruits) and avoid salt (use sea salt
instead) because the excessive salt consumption causes loss of blood
potassium, which makes the blood sugar drop.
Take vitamin C and B6 and B-complex to help normalize sugar metabolism.
The good news for you is that if you watch carefully your diet you can keep
the sugar levels within a normal range; it might even help the thyroid…
