Today for example I had a full can of Progresso minestrone soup (220 calories), a nectarine, roughly 5 Triscuits with hummus (probably about 5 tbsp of hummus total), and about 15 oz of water for lunch. I finished it around 2 and was hungry again by 4:30. And I have several hours, plus a SG routine, to get through before I can have dinner. Last night I had a big plateful of teriyaki pork, vegetables and fried rice (all homemade), got quite full, and was hungry again 3 hours later.
In the short term I can deal with the hunger as just a minor discomfort, but in the long term I'm concerned that the cumulative effect of the hunger might send me into binge mode. Does this make any sense? Has anyone else experienced the problem of the stomach and the head not agreeing on what is "enough" food?
This has always been an issue for me, but I've dealt with it in the past by snacking. I'm not sure what to do now. I also seem to get low blood sugar often (shakiness, headaches, lightheadedness). For anyone with medical instincts, recently I had a health assessment done at work, and they tested my blood sugar. This was in the morning, before I'd eaten anything, and it was 66. That seems pretty low to me. I'm not trying to be a hypochondriac, but I just wondered if this number means anything to someone with a medical background.
Ok, I've rambled on long enough. I should probably do a Google on hypoglycemia instead of looking for free medical advice.
