Hi everyone! I just found out about this forum and Ray Peat today! I am just coming off of a 3 year low carb, high fat and protein diet. I have Chronic Lyme Disease and was doing a treatment in February when it all came crashing down in March. I had tachycardia, fatigue, weak muscles, etc. Doctors have been looking into everything as I have been to the ER 10 times in the last several weeks. The hypoglycemia is so severe, I almost died.
My doctor suggested I switch to high carb, high protein diet. The tachycardia has subsided but I am still weak and fatigued. In the hospital, I was able to eat high carb, high protein. But I've realized, at home now, that the spikes in blood sugar are not good. So I'm limiting my carbs more and still eating protein. I'm finding in reacting to almost everything I eat (dizzy, lightheaded, ringing in head, massive blood sugar drops after meals). I realize my metabolic system is in crisis. I have to wear a continuous glucose monitor as I drop so fast that I don't realize I'm low sometimes.
How do I slowly gain my health back? What are some good foods to be introducing? What is your best advice for me?
