so happy to be back in control

 After posting about my recent regain and out of control eating, I am happy to report that I feel back in control for the first time in a long time. I am taking part in a 10 week fitness challenge and it has re-motivated me. I think the biggest help is that the nutrition plan has eliminated gluten and dairy from my diet. It's amazing how my cravings have subsided. BTW:
 I have been seeing a lot of posts about reactive hypoglycemia and how this leads to regain. I haven't been officially diagnosed but I definitely have all the symptoms. Do I need to be seen by a dr. for this or should I just control it with my diet?

My doctor and I discussed the RH thing and I'd rather treat it with diet than have them test me to see if I really have it..it requires me fasting and then drinking that syrupy stuff..I know that if I drink that syrup, I'm gonna get really sick..and then I'm gonna have a blood sugar drop that will have them putting me in an ambulance..no go for me but I'm a big chicken!

I just make sure I have something that takes a LONG time to digest like dense protein or fibrous carbs along with any carbs I eat..peanut butter on apple slices..stuff like that..and I do eat every couple of hours but stay about 1500 calories a day..and move more. With the weather turning nice now..that's not hard.

It's funny you said all that because this program I'm on stresses eating lots of small meals, and all the carbs are dense - no white sugar or flour. Since starting, I haven't had any episodes of RH. I also eat about 1500 cals. a day (maybe even more on some days) but I am working out like crazy. So far, I've dropped at least a size.
