I also do better with three solid meals a day and snacks. However, if I go VLC (like Atkins induction), it kills my urge to snack and I can sometimes even skip lunch. It could be Woo's and my alpha cells don't work very well and/or our beta cells overdo it.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-23713143590347572262015-03-31T11:56:53.193-05:002015-03-31T11:56:53.193-05:00that's interesting -- I've hypothesized th...that's interesting -- I've hypothesized that the way Wooo feels sometimes suggests inefficient gluconeogenesis or some kind of liver-malfunction.... are you prone to hypoglycemia?tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-53253764027228530212015-03-30T19:09:05.076-05:002015-03-30T19:09:05.076-05:00I can't fast.

I was hungry, my head hurt, and my blood sugar slowly fell all day until I went on the only food binge of my life. <br /><br />It's been five years since I started LC, and I usually don't even do well skipping lunch.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-68481159097611603882015-03-29T10:53:56.793-05:002015-03-29T10:53:56.793-05:00Eddie's lucky that you like low-carb too -- a ...Eddie's lucky that you like low-carb too -- a lot of people who need to restrict their diets face a lot of resistance at home. :-(tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-15929257954493604142015-03-29T10:08:39.423-05:002015-03-29T10:08:39.423-05:00Any new lifestyle / change in lifestyle that you a...Any new lifestyle / change in lifestyle that you are hoping to improve on has to be given time to work, time for your body to adjust.<br /><br />It's like saying 'oh yes, I read two pages of a book' and thought that's not for me.<br /><br />Guess it still comes down to the individual .. each of us decides the why's and wherefores. <br /><br />All I know is I'm glad that because of Eddie's Type 2 diabetes we both discovered the benefits that living the LCHF lifestyle can and does bring.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-91440011233412663832015-03-28T19:25:03.124-05:002015-03-28T19:25:03.124-05:00...but i hope you don't think my posting was i......but i hope you don't think my posting was in response to your experience -- i actually didn't read yours until after i had published! i had been ruminating on people who claim they "can't fast" and something reminded me of Dr. Ass's "attempt" at low-carb. :-P if he couldn't do it by the book, why did he bother to do it at all?tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-58278425022461829872015-03-28T19:20:01.242-05:002015-03-28T19:20:01.242-05:00i'm sorry your ZC attempt turned out so poorly...i'm sorry your ZC attempt turned out so poorly for you! but we have to obey our bodies who they lower the boom on us. similar thing happened to me once, when i had too many nightshades in one meal -- i felt like hell for about a day afterward! tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-81188043267749097542015-03-28T19:12:12.661-05:002015-03-28T19:12:12.661-05:00:-) i'm afraid there was a lot of noise in th...:-) i'm afraid there was a lot of noise in the room while i was writing, and it's not as clear as i would have liked it.... tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-22516466968305498182015-03-28T18:28:32.972-05:002015-03-28T18:28:32.972-05:00Yes, I own my evil/wimpiness...after about 12 hour...Yes, I own my evil/wimpiness...after about 12 hours of feeling like shit yesterday from a big plate of carnitas (only)...I cried UNCLE on Zero Carb eating.
