I agree! I am also hypoglycemic and eating fruit, veggies, protein, and fiber really helps keep my blood sugar level. I try to eat a protein (chicken, beef, beens, etc...) at every meal this also gives me the "fuller longer" feeling that I need. My mom is a nurse, and she has told me to eat something (small) before working out - 1/2 a protein bar, fruit, or a glass of chocolate milk (skim of course) to keep my blood sugar up enough to work out effectively without the dizziness. If you can only stand to eat 1300 at a minimum then just do that and don't try to go lower. To burn more calories you can try to work out twice a day (take a 15-20 min walk in the am and another in the pm) and slowly build up your endurance. Have you tried to track your blood sugar levels? If not, it may be a good idea to hook up with your doctor so that you may be able to begin to predict the times of day you will be sugar low. (If you do this pay close attention to the times you are working out - check before, during, and after working out and eating to see trends). Hope this helps! Good luck!

I have been reading through all of the replies and I was surprised to see all of the same reasons that I was thinking already posted (i.e., the "Chub-Rub" - I used to be a waitress and I would have to buy new work pants all of the time, it was painful, and I got tired of spending all of that extra money on pants for work). My main reasons would have to be: 1) when I start having kids the doctors give me the go ahead to get pregnant and not have to lose weight to get pregnant 2) I want to be a good influence on my future children - I don't want them to have to go through the body issues I have experienced 3) I want my boyfriend to be able to pick me up easily and carry me around 4) I want to do certain yoga poses without my fat rolls getting in the way 5) Go running without my boobs being in pain - sorry guys I want them smaller! Thank you for all of the honesty in your replies! |
