A couple of questions.
Why are you limiting your caloric intake? Why are you eating so much protien? So, I understand your stated goal is to lower blood sugar, but I don't understand how your stated macros achieve that. Sorry if I'm missing something. |

I just want my blood sugar to stay above 70. |

Honestly, I would ask that question or research it more on a site dedicated to folks with the same medical condition. Aside from the medical condition that I've never had to deal with and can't speak to, I like your macro percentages. That is basically the same profile as I use when I am cutting and works very well for me.
Why are your calories so low? What's your age, sex, weight? Edit, looks like you answered some of the questions as I was writing my response. |

You may want to look into ketosis. Since it really keeps insulin under control. |

I'd lower the protein if you aren't lifting. To like 20, maybe 25%. Replace it with good healthy fats.
Are you eating carbs every two hours? Or do the carbs come mostly at one or two meals? What are your carbs -- how much fiber, sugar, etc? |

Unless she decides to go keto, why do you folks keep saying her protein is too high? And even if she does go keto, she probably shouldn't even drop her protein. She would want to reduce her carbs a little more and increase her fat because her calories are too low. 135 grams of protein is not "a lot" by any means and unless you are keto protein is the most beneficial macro in terms of performance, satiety, and body comp.

I am not even saying you should do keto so much as research it to see if it would be beneficial to you in your situation. Another thing I would look into, if you haven't, is getting a comprehensive blood panel done to see where your other numbers are. Like if you are vit. D deficient or anything like that. With your activity level(chasing after kids all day) and most of your calories coming from proteins and fats(the good ones I am assuming) I am just baffled at the 1,200 calorie number. Having a condition like that may very well alter your dietary needs to the point where all conventional wisdom doesn't apply. So when I say I like your macro percentages because they work well for me, it doesn't mean they are right for you. I hope you find the answers you are looking for. |

Today I skipped my 9:30am snack because I was on a phone call across the building. I tested my sugar at 11:15am right before I ate lunch. It was 45. Ate my lunch.
When I got back to my desk I tested again. 55. I just ate a few peanut m&m and a spoon full of peanut butter. Got to get it up. Just have to do it safely |

1200 is pretty low, i recomend keto for everything but it would be worth a shot for you, the only thing you would really change is add more fat to your diet. Your total carbs are low enough that your body is probably trying to produce ketones but you aren't consuming enough healthy fats.
You may still have lower blood sugar but if you are in ketosis it won't matter much, you will be burning fat instead of sugar so you won't crash. Having protein as the main source of calories is pretty ruff on your liver trying to keep up with the gluconeogenesis. Protein is more of a building block than an energy source. You need either fat or carbs for energy. Your current macros kind of have you in the no mans land between a sugar burner and a fat burner. I've read and seen some videos of people who attemped carb and fat restricted diets describing similiar crashes as to what you are having. The basic rule of thumb for a ketogenic diet is 70%fat 20-25%protein and 5-10%carbs. Based on your height weight and activity level i would put you at a minimum of 1500-1600 calories a day, stay under 40 grams of carbs most of which should be fiber, get at least 80 grams of protein and as much healthy fat as you want. Check out the big official keto thread in gd, read keto clarity or almost any of the huge number of resources out there. It sounds like just adding some things like bullet proof coffee (coffee with heavy cream, coconut or mct oil and grass fed butter), fat bombs, and just more butter and bacon with your proteins would probably get you right where you need to be to keep getting lean and have energy. Bare in mind that a lot of doctors get very little in the way of nutritional training and what they did get is based on the food pyramid garbage that has made america obese and diabetic. |

Calories seem low.
Keto is great for managing blood sugar. But I don't know about having a baby on Keto. You don't need that much protein if you aren't working out. .75 grams per pound of body weight would be fine. You could do a Palo deit if you don't want to get rid of carbs. Yatka had had great success with it. And most doctors don't really give a shit about you and will run some tests and throw some meds at you. Do your own research. |

I've lost about 35 lbs doing lchf with some weight lifting, i think you'll be happy with that way of living. It may take a bit for your body to adjust to burning fat but with what you described of your diet i think it will be very fast. |

This past weekend I made some phat fudge
Ingredients:
1 cup tahini (I use this kind) 1 cup grass fed butter or ghee 1/4 cup cacao 1 tbsp turmeric 1/2 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 tbsp maca 1/2 tbsp honey 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp cayenne What To Do: In a sauce pan, melt butter/ghee and whisk in tahini followed by the honey until it’s all well mixed. Add the rest of the ingredients in no particular order and continue to whisk until you’ve got what I am now calling Unicorn Chocolate Sauce. Carefully pour into the ice tray BUT purposely leave a spoon or two for your enjoyment now. #whywait Place the tray in your freezer and practice patience, perhaps even meditate. *wink* It only take a couple of hours to set. It’s only a couple of hours, hold your Unicorn! You can keep them in the tray and just pop them out when you’re ready to enjoy. ***You must keep them stored in the freezer or refrigerator to keep shape*** Not bad - more savory than sweet, but the tahini has bitter tones to it. I also made an alternate version where I substituted a couple ingredients in order to try a dairy-free / vegan version just for giggles. -instead of tahini, I used coconut butter (not oil, butter) -instead of grass fed better, I used cacao butter All other ingredients remained the same. The coconut had a sweeter taste and it would probably be ok without the tiny amount of honey. Bonus for using cacao butter in that the fudge is more solid at room temperature. |

New day. New week. Me and my little girl stayed away from the house the whole weekend and we are still not back. Hubs has hand foot mouth.
I fail hard at eating right when I am at my parents house. They have all the wonderful stuff. Monday was my little girls field trip so I packed a good lunch for us. Very good and healthy. I hardly got any food. She was so distracted and wanted to get back out there and play. So today is a new week. Here is the line up I have for this week food schedule. If you see something and have a better idea, please post the idea. Don't just fuss at me. Coffee with heavy whipping cream --- on the road Breakfast: boiled egg, plain oatmeal, sausage 9:30 : fat bomb 11:30 lunch chicken salad, avocado, a few triskets. 1:30 little smokies and string cheese. 3:00 banana and peanut butter. |

So your doing the heavy cream and fat bomb which looks like you are trying to do keto but then i see oatmeal triskets and banana. Which seem like they'd put your carbs too high. Instead of oatmeal another egg and grassfed butter, instead of triskets try some pork rinds, throw in another avacado and some mixed nuts instead of banana and peanut butter... Again this is if you are trying to do the keto thing. If thats the case some more research might get you on the right track. |

The pork skins are a good idea. I have not that about that before. As far as the oatmeal. It works for me and works well. I did try a week with two eggs and sausage and cut the oatmeal. Had a hard week. I'm not eating a ton of it. I'm eating one of the packets. I guess its just a enough. I'm putting the fat bomb in between that and lunch and see if that gets me to lunch better. Triskets - Im seeing how it goes. Only eating a few with lunch. But i'll find some pork skins. Banana - Its easy but carby. I"m so not into nuts. I don't know if I wanna eat two avocados a day. Fat bomb was very tasty. I left it in a zipplock on my desk. The peanut butter melted. Tomorrow I'll keep it in my lunch box. |

Soybean oil - an oil refined from soybeans using heat and petroleum solvents (hexane) / maltodexterin - nutritionless sugar / Monosodium Glutamate - an additive that blocks satiety signals to the brain. |

A review over today.
It is kinda hard to judge coming from staying with my folks this weekend where they have good southern cooking. I have felt better than I have in a while. Having the egg, oatmeal, sausage for breakfast and then the fat bomb, really set my day up. |

Yesterday and early this morning my blood sugar spiked then crashed.
It's worse on the weekend I guess since we don't have a schedule like I do at work. When I have a bad episode it starts out with tingling lips, I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, my head gets really heavy. If I don't catch it, like yesterday, I am down for the count. |

They took 5 vials of blood. It may take around 5 days to get back. Will schedule a follow up for that.
Today was very low key. I liked the nurse and the doctor. They were very intent to listen. The doc brought up reactive hypoglycemia which is what I have been researching. There is a medicine. But he wanted all my labs to come back and nothing else be wrong. He said these appointments are usually long and he goes over a diet plan, but listening to me and what I eat he believes I am on the right track. He did make some suggestions on some of the foods I like. I should know more at my follow up. Biggest concern is my pancreas and thyroid. Once we rule those out it's one step closer. |

At 1,200 calories a day you will basically put your body into "oh shit store everything" mode. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what makes that possible? if im eating low calories but continuing to do physical work and work out. What am i using for energy to do the work. or.....why wouldnt the low calories help lose weight because work requires energy requires calories to be used? if you "burn muscle" in place of low calories you would lose weight so why or what actually is going on to retain the weight while still effectively doing a ton of physical work??// |

What may seem like a lot of work when you are squishy may seem like peanuts if you are properly fueled and strong. I just replied to your other thread talking about keto, last thing you want to do especially starting out is worry about calories. My biggest weight loss weeks are after i have 3000+ calories a day while lifting 3 days a week and then keep lifting but include some intermitent fasting. Body gets all primed up to burn dietary fat and make muscle, cut the dietary fat back down and you burn body fat. |

I would suggest increased food intake first. Also you said oatmeal packets . ..those are usually full of sugar. Try boiling the old fashioned kind yourself. Finally, I really hope your endo is on point with thyroid work . .. your levels can be off for you , but still be in the "normal" range and they won't do anything to treat you. Thyroid problems will mess you but good! I got lucky, my endo "gets it" when it comes to treating my Hashimoto's.
