High Protein Diet?

[Guest guest]

So I've started a high protein diet about 4 months ago because I get

hypoglycemia every now and then and I wanted to lose some weight. I

lost the weight and the hypoglycemia went completely away. Now I'm

reading Cleanse & Purify Thyself and it talks about high protein

being a PH problem for the body.

 

I'd be interested in knowing if any hypoglycemics have done well on a

raw food diet and how often they have to eat. I've never really been

able to do just 3 meals a day (which is what I like) until I started

the high protein diet. I'm concerned about my blood sugar being all

over the place eating more fruits and fewer proteins.

 

Your comments are appreciated.

-I am not sure how much fruit would affect your hypoglycemia, but am

wondering if you were healthier and on the raw food diet, would you

have hypoglycemia? I don't eat alot of fruit because there seems to

be a problem with blood sugar in my family and eat mostly vegetables.

Yes, alot of protein is very, very bad for the body. Those who

consume alot of protein, especially meat, will eventually lose alot

of calcium from their bones and have many more health problems.

 

One of things that may have helped you during the high protein diet

was that you reduced your intake of carbs. Carbs turn to sugar in the

body. Reducing carbs allows us to lose weight. I don't think it's so

much increasing protein as reducing carbs. Fruit is high in carbs.

 

Good topic, btw.

I have absolutely no problems with my hypoglycemia when i'm

completely raw. Caffeine really messes with blood sugar levels (as

i'm sure you already know)and lately i'm a coffee-fiend since i just

started a graduate program. A raw coffee junkie. How's that for a

testamonial? Hopefully i'll quickly get sick of being shakey and

light-headed and go back to all raw! Anyway, I only eat fruit in the

morning, so i don't eat that much of it. Mostly i eat veggies. I did

find that after i was raw for six months (approximately), i could eat

more fruit than i thought i would be able to. I guess being raw

detoxed me enough that my body started functioning the way it should.

Hi Tyler,

 

I have pretty much the same experience as Muk... I was very hypoglycemic when

still using coffee (and cooked carbohydrates, including sugar), and apparently

the negative effect the coffee has on the ability of the body to stabilize the

blood sugar levels lasts quite long after you quit drinking it. I also had to

reduce my intake of sweet fruit very much, only a little in the morning. Then I

started eating more green leafy vegetables, and supplementing with green

superfoods, to help remineralize and heal my body. Now, a few months later, I

can eat a lot of sweet fruit without feeling the effects on my blood sugar

(except when I overeat on sweet fruit, but that can be overcome by not eating 2

meals of fruit in a row). I can skip breakfast without problems, and

I don't need to eat in between meals.

 

So: stay away from sweet fruits for a while, and always stay away from coffee

and cooked carbohydrates. Eat a lot of dark greens and drink their juices, and

maybe supplement for a while with a green superfood (at the moment I am not

using those things anymore, I feel OK without them). I believe the hypoglycemia

goes away once your body is sufficiently healed, and I believe greens help in

that process.

 

Good luck,

 

Wim

Here is a glycemic index website (searchable)

 

http://www.glycemicindex.com/

 

Apples are not to bad around 40. just eat low glycemic index sweet

fruits.

 

Because milk is cooked it is void of nutrition. As peter said cooked

cows milk will kill a baby calf. The thing I read was that an

experiment was done on 10 calves being fed their own mothers milk,

cooked 9 of the 10 died. Raw milk is created for baby cows, not

humans.

P.S. Most people have hypoglycemia. The ones who don't have diebetes
