Sigh

I get so frustrated with my body. I hate that my very many health issues keep playing havoc with my diet plans. I am going to have to go back to just eating a Low Fat, Plant Based, Whole foods diet, like I was. In the last few days that I have been combining this eating plan with Weight Watchers, I have had the same problem every day. My blood sugar keeps dropping way too low and I can't keep it up. I am getting cold sweats, shakes and feeling awful. I can eat the way I want to, I just can't do it counting Weight Watchers Points.

The truth is, I based my eating plan on The Ornish Diet and The McDougall Diet and both of these Doctors say that you eat freely of the foods allowed and you lose weight. So that is what I am going to do. I am not going to continue to try to combine that eating plan with Weight Watchers.

Today for supper I made wonderful Casserole. But even eating one serving for my supper with a baked potato my blood sugar still dropped. And after my healthy lunch, it also dropped. I am eating all my points and I can't keep my sugar up. I can't afford the points to increase my protein which is what I need to do to level out my blood sugar. And this has happened every day. So, I am going back to simply doing a combination of Dr. Ornish/Dr. McDougall plan.:
