Food Intolerance - Blog Update 2

Overall things have been going well, my energy levels have increased and other symptoms have either gone or are improved. 

I have had two blood sugar lows since I started with the food intolerance and I would say both are down to my mis-management.  Once because I was eating out and struggled to find anything on the menu so didn’t have any carbohydrates  - I might have got away with this but had raced earlier that day so needed to refuel my glycogen stores - and the other when I had no carbohydrates prepared and was rushed for lunch.  I should have eaten more complex carbohydrates later in the day but didn’t have sufficient.  It shows how important it is to get the balance right.

I can tell when I have had sufficient carbohydrates as my interest in food subsides, ie I have no cravings and food is not my focus. 

I am also researching much deeper into food intolerance and generally what needs to be done to ensure good health.  When I say ‘good health’ I mean in terms of feeling good and having energy, not feeling tired and lethargic.  From my own experience I think sometimes symptoms can be so gradual that we accept them as part of life.

Of course it means a change of lifestyle to feel like this so I guess then it depends on how important feeling good is to us as to whether we will make the necesssary changes.
