Hypoglycemia literally means low blood sugar. It occurs when the level of blood sugar in the body is too low to adequately fuel the body. Reactive hypoglycemia is hypoglycemia that occurs in response to eating certain types of food. When there is not enough glucose in the blood for the body to function properly or when the descent of blood sugar occurs too quickly, multiple symptoms can occur. The symptoms can be mild, moderate, or severe. You might think if one is experiencing low blood sugar; the answer would be to just eat more sugar. But, for people with reactive hypoglycemia, that only makes symptoms worse. Blood sugar conditions have been on the rise not only in the United States, but worldwide. Conditions such as Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Impaired Glucose Tolerance, Syndrome X, and Reactive Hypoglycemia are becoming more prevalent. This is the story of my life with reactive hypoglycemia. This book will take you on my journey of how I went from a person who ate any and everything, to someone who achieved better health by taking control over my diet. If you suffer from this condition or know someone who does, this book will provide insight into how to manage this condition. While there is not "cure" for reactive hypoglycemia, it can be managed so that you live a normal life. I hope this book is an inspiration and that it shows you that with discipline and proper food selection, you can live a normal and productive life with reactive hypoglycemia.

A complete guide and cookbook to selecting and using the best carbohydrates to lose weight, maintain blood sugar levels, and improve overall health. Not all carbs are created equal. In fact, the latest dietary research shows that different carbohydrates have varying effects on the body, depending on the rate at which they raise blood sugar levels--also known as a food's glycemic index (GI). Choosing a balance of foods that are low on the GI will speed weight loss and control diabetes, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. In The Good Carb Cookbook, Sandra Woodruff demystifies the carbohydrate confusion by explaining the real differences among carbohydrates (baked potatoes are high on the index, while sweet potatoes are low), and shares her secrets for eating low on the index. The book includes an invaluable table with hundreds of common foods and their glycemic index rating; more than two hundred recipes to get people cooking and eating low on the index; and tips to modify high-glycemic family favorites with low-glycemic ingredients, lose weight, maintain blood sugar, and achieve optimal health.
