Hi…I embarked on the blood sugar diet a few months ago. I lost 1.5 stone. I have put a few lbs back on as I slipped a bit….but back in track today 😃
I started the diet because I had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome….but I felt convinced the diagnosis was wrong. I felt sure that my fatigue was linked to my weight and my diet. I was absolutely overweight by 3st and I was eating a lot of carbs and processed sugar.
After about 2-3 weeks I found my energy levels were more steady….not increased but just nice and level. After a few more weeks, I found I had more energy. I wasn’t sure if I was just having a good spell or if the diet had made a difference. Anyway…..I slipped, as I said earlier. For a few weeks my carb and sugar increased…..and I am experiencing those horrible energy slumps, my joints hurt, my belly feels bloated. I think I might have the evidence I needed to say my diet has contributed hugely to my health!
I am not for a second suggesting that this is the case for everyone with CFS or even for anyone else with this diagnosis….but I do think it is the case for me.
