    What sugar does to me now...

    About every couple of weeks I will eat something sweet...Not a big deal fo me because I actually stick to the plan very well and have been excercising alot,
    but here is what I have noticed.
    When I eat something sugary I get all jittery and basically feel like crap till I have passed it through my body. I can see why people refer to over indulging in processed carbs as being a carboholic.
    I hate the feeling so much now that I am at the point where sugary things don't interest me because of how they make me feel!

          I havent tried anything sweet ...but I will say that when I ate some of my daughter's chinese noodles with veggies.....I not only could taste the sugars and things that were put in the food BUT about half hour after I ate them....I was EXHAUSTED.

          It happened a second time with something else carby.........I now fall dead asleep from like 6pm until the next morning if I eat something carby. Having no energy like that just isnt worth it to me and neither is the feeling like crap part....

              i think my tastebuds have changed as well. Now eating a piece of an apple is really really good, more like dessert, where before it was just another apple, tasteless.

                  What's happening is that your sweet "treat" is causing rapid spike in your blood sugar, your bod tries to lower it by pushing out alot of insulin, which then causes your blood sugar to come crashing down. It's called "reactive hypoglycemia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia. Actually, you're causing your body to have this reactice hypoglycemia by feeding yourself a sweet "treat".

                  Any long-term health complications to doing this? That's controversial but some doctors think it does.
                  Hypoglycemia: Background, Pathophysiology, Etiology
                  http://www.emedicine.com/MED/topic1123.htm
                  Hypoglycemia is a clinical situation characterized by a reduction in plasma glucose concentration to a level that may induce symptoms or signs such as altered mental status and/or sympathetic nervous system stimulation. The glucose level at which an individual becomes symptomatic is highly variable, although a plasma glucose level less than 5...

                  Reactive hypoglycemia has been suggested to be more common in people who are insulin-resistant, and it may be a frequent precursor to type-2 diabetes. Therefore, patients who have a family history of type-2 diabetes or insulin-resistance syndrome (ie, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity) may be at higher risk for developing hypoglycemia.

                      And yes.... OMGAWD... I finally discovered that fruits are actually SOOO SWEEEEET

                              Yeah, my Scottish sugar addicted tastebuds have changed too.
                              I can't drink Coke, Sprite any more, they all taste like molten sugar to me.
                              I can't even drink the diet sodas.
                              I had champers (yum) and we tried putting things in it (Creme de Cassis) and I couldn't drink it with any in it, was too sweet for me.

                              I don't crave cakes and stuff like that cos I know that after I eat it, I feel drained and yucky and would be disappointed in myself, so that overwhelms the very fleeting want of a bit of something.

                              I love that I drink water galore, I know it's so good for me.
                              I love the good food that I'm eating and i love the anticipation of seeing the scales continue to move downwards.

                              Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
