I have experimented with different diets to see which has the most beneficial effects on my blood sugar levels. I have found the best results with a diet based on complex carbohydrates and adequate protein, with a certain amount of fat to slow down the impact of the carbohydrates on my blood sugar. Fat is usually regarded as a villain by modern diet writers but a certain amount of fat is essential, particularly if you suffer from low blood sugar.
In fact, many people develop low blood sugar by following the popular high carbohydrate, low-fat diet theories to extreme. They think fruit is a “good” food and eat lots of it while avoiding foods like eggs, cheese and whole milk. But they could be better off avoiding fruit if they are hypoglycemic and eating eggs and buttered toast for breakfast.
Eggs are a particularly valuable food. They help build up the adrenal glands – a vital factor in recovery from hypoglycemia. Of course, they contain cholesterol and should be eaten in moderation. But one or two eggs a day will not harm most people’s cholesterol levels and, in fact, there is growing evidence that sugar is much more harmful in raising cholesterol than foods such as eggs, dairy products or meat.
Interesting thank you!
