Greetings Everyone.
I'm a brand new Peatarian (like BRAND new) but I've been reading about him for months and I've been transitioning my kids to his way of eating for the past couple of weeks. I finally took the plunge for myself today (not well planned) and let me tell you, I am literally freaking out having a panic attack.
My blood sugar is through the roof. I wasn't able to test this morning BUT I did test many times throughout the day.
Breakfast - egg with cheddar, 2 slices of watermelon, roughly 6 oz. of salted OJ
Snack - Coffee with LOTS of HnH, MCT oil, sugar and 1TB gelatin
BS - 270 (I breathed through it and trusted the process)
I heard that OJ can actually reduce blood sugar as well as raise it so for lunch I had another 6 oz of salted OJ, some swiss cheese, and a handful of grapes.
1 hr blood sugar - 360 (I have NEVER EVER EVER seen a number in the 3 hundred. PANIC.)
Snack - another coffee with HnH, sugar, and 1TB of Gelatin.
BS at roughly an hour - 280
I've also been literally RAVENOUS... I want to chew my own leg off. And, I'm physically exhausted.
Can someone please tell me this is normal? Please tell me I'm not going to go blind from high sugars. Please tell me this is going to work. I know I've read all the articles and read all the message boards but it's not helping alleviate my utter HORROR at my BG numbers.
HELP...
