My name is Chasity and my doctor told me that I slightly have hypoglycemia. She also told me that because of this I am supposed to avoid carbs and concentrate on protein. You have stated that one of the things is to get the carbs in order to control this. So how do I know what is the correct thing to do?

First of all: when you’re under the care of a health care professional, you should always listen carefully to them before making up your mind what you’re going to do.

I suggested concentrating on complex carbohydrates, which are a whole ‘nother thing from the simple carbohydrates (sugars)  that make up a majority of many people’s intake of carbs. It would probably do no harm, in the long run, to see what a combination of the ideas accomplishes. Certainly your doctor’s suggestion will work, and it may be best for you.  Ask her what she thinks of H.A.L.T.
In the final analysis, only a professional nutritionist working with test results supplied by your physician can give you a tailor-made solution. Fortunately, “slight” hypoglycemia is not so serious that you cannot experiment. See what works.

Remember, too, that I am not a physician nor professional nutritionist, just a guy who has worked with a lot of folks whose metabolisms were messed up.
