Ughhh... I feel like crap - totally overate this afternoon- on complete autopilot...That'll teach me... Pre B - AchievOne protein drink B - Weight Control Oatmeal and 2/3 banana S - Apple and string cheese (my blood sugars plummeted around 10am, I just started shaking like a leaf out of nowhere, hot flashes, the whole nine yards) L - meatloaf and brussel sprouts S - mini bag of sun chips S - (about 1/2 hour later) - cheese, crackers and deli ham - I have no idea why I ate this, I wasn't hungry, and MAAAAAAANNNNN am I paying... I feel horrible... D - to be honest, I can't imagine eating later... I have class in a little while, might do something light when I get home...

Hey, Beck! I suspect that oatmeal and 2/3 banana eat together to have caused the sugar crash. Could be too many carbs at one sitting. Not enough protein/fats to slow down the blood sugar rise. I'd suggest, at a minimum, separating the oatmeal and the banana and eating each with some semblance of protein. Kathy

I would agree with you on the banana-oatmeal theory, except I probably eat that 3-4 days a week... Who knows???

Maybe you had 1 extra micron of banana and that pushed you over the edge???
