This is what happening my my hypoglycemia lately.
Let's say I have a rather high-carb dinner like basmati rice and beans and a fruit. The next day I feel ready to eat low carb and I feel very good. So eggs, steak, fatty cheese, hamburgers, sausages, bacons and veggies.
I can go on with this diet for like two days but on the evening of the second day, the low carb diet doesn't seem to work anymore. I feel low energy and hypo, I keep eating cheese, meat or sausages and I don't feel any improvement, I start to very cold and foggy.
I have tried to eat rice, pasta and a fruit and I feel immediately better.
The next day my body again feel ready to eat low carb and again eating this way seems to makes me feel good. Until the evening of the second day.
It seems that my body wants to alternate between high-carb meals and low-carb meals.
In other words I get an high-carb refeed and then I can tolerate few very low-carb days, then I have another carb refeed after few low-carb days and my body seems to tolerate the carbs as well.
Right now I have noticed that I can't have two or more carb refeeds in a row and I have problems with three or more straight low-carb days in a row.
Do you think alternating very low carb eating with carb refeeds might work for my reactive hypoglycemia?
Do you know other people who benefitted from a similar approach?
