Cary,
That may be true for people with insulin resistance, but that’s not what I have,
Best,

Hi

Alcohol puts bad, unwanted stress on the pancreas, pushing you farther into insulin resistance.

Besides… it’s sugar and carbs anyway (depending on what you’re drinking).

[...] I’m going to blame the slight change in diet coupled with the time change, which threw my body clock–and my eating times–completely off (or perhaps it was the stress of economy air travel!). Next time I go on vacation I’m going to stay in a suite with cooking facilities and I’m going to stick rigidly to my reactive hypoglycemic diet… [...]

There’s some research out there that suggest some artificial sweeteners can heighten the insulin response. I’m of the mindset that most artificial sweeteners are found in “junk” food anyway!
Everything I’ve read suggests alcohol is a no-no. I can’t drink it without a bad sugar response. I can drink a very small glass of wine per day with food, and that’s it.
Best,
Stephanie

Yep, I’m very glad I found it also. Just two more questions.
You say we shouldn’t use artifitial sweeteners, why would that be?
And the second one, what’s your oppinion about alcohol intake? is it allowed on a RH diet?
love

I think as long as you don’t eat a very ripe one, it’s fine…a banana that’s slightly green has less sugar. Glad you found the page…”panic attacks” ran in our family…until we found out about RH.

Hi Steph
Your page is a blast, I’ve been struggling with panic attacks for years and just recently realized I might have RH. Changing my diet has been a great help, feeling much less anxious all the time. Have to take a 11hrs flight in a few more weeks, and actually I feel OK about it for the first time in a long time.
Just wondering, isn’t that banana you had at 2pm a bit bad for our condition?
Loving all the info!

Yes. Since switching to a meatless diet, my symptoms disappeared.

The meals in your cookbook are exclusively vegetarian?

I think the answer depends on how many calories you need a day; I’m not a calorie counter…I control my portions instead and keep a close eye on the scale. What I posted works for me; I am 6′ tall, 184 lbs (which is normal weight for my height…I’ve lost 5 pounds since I started this blog!). I exercise almost every day for about 20-30 minutes: biking, swimming, Tae Kwon Do. If you exercise more than me (or are taller!), then by all means eat more. My advice would be to keep a close eye on your weight. You’d be surprised about how many calories are in a full sandwich!

Hello,
Thanks for the menu.

Being an re-active hypoglycemic, I want to ask someting about the menu.

I am not overweight, am nearly slim, in this case also should we eat also not much?

For instance instead of eating 1/2 of sandwich, why we do not eat 1/1 of the sandwich, and idem for others.

Thanks,

P.S. I appreciate very much this site.
