I'm going to tell you now what I understand about Hypoglycemia. This is purely from my bits and pieces of research along the way, and is not medical advice in any way shape or form. If you think you might fit the bill, go see your GP and get yourself a glucose tolerance test. That's probably the surest way to know for sure.
1. Relatively minor processes inside your body affect your whole body.
2. If your body responds to stimuli in a certain way often enough, it will learn that behaviour.
3. Change takes time. Resetting your body's functions takes time.
4. We live in a society saturated with sugar.
5. We can't cut sugar 100% out of our diet.
6. To cut as much sugar out of your diet as possible, you need to plan your meals, snacks and the times you go out.
7. Expect some bad days. Expect some days of feeling like shit.
8. Expect a few weeks of absolute hell when you start, as you will be likely suffering sugar and (if you are like me) caffeine withdrawal.
9. We live fairly lazy lives. Human bodies are not designed to live lazy lives. We need some exercise - light and air are also good for us.
10. We live fairly stressful lives. Human bodies are not designed to live permanently in a stressful state. We need some relax time, some chill time, some 'me' time, some recharge time.
So, today is T minus 3 days - I go home today from my conference interstate, and begin taking stock of my life and lifestyle, and hopefully by Sunday morning, I'll be ready to make all changes for the better.
Rock on Sunday!
Until next blog, hope you are healthy and happy,
xoxo
