   • Break down your daily amount of intake into nothing less than 6 meals a day.

   • Try to include as much high fiber, low fat, complex carbohydrate and protein in your diet.

   • Stress on having, whole grain, fresh fruits and green vegetables

   • Cut down on your sugar intake.

   • Have sweets but as a part of your total meal and only at special meals that too in small quantity

   • Stay away from caffeine content food stuff such as coffee, chocolates , colas and tea.

   • Never have alcohol on an empty stomach and try to reduce the intake.

   • Watch your weight, if that happens to be a concern.

   • Exercise daily if that is possible for you.

   Reactive hypoglycemia is nothing other than a chronic condition which calls for special treatment. With a good and a well planned diet program, you can definitely expect a steady progress to a healthy living.

   Some healthy snack choices could be as follows:

   • Fruits combine with two whole grain crackers.

   • One half peanut sandwiches on bread with raw carrots.

   • Low fat cheese placed between two whole grain crackers.

   • Simple and plain yogurt mixed along with fresh fruits.

   • Low fat milk with banana can also be a good choice for snack.

   • Half apple with half cheese on a half sliced whole wheat bread can also make a good and healthy snack for you.

   You can divide your meals this way:

   • Breakfast

   • Snack

   • Lunch

   • Snack

   • Dinner

   • Snack

   So that makes 6 meals for the entire day. Now, this will keep you going if you follow the program religiously. And slowly, you will recover from being a frequent victim to reactive hypoglycemia.
   Quick Tip #1

   Try to eat more than just the standard 3 meals a day, ideally you would want to be eating something every 3 hours when you are awake. Even a simple snack will suffice.

   Quick Tip #2

   If you think you are starting to suffer the first signs of hypoglycemia then you want to immediately take your blood sugar levels.If they are 70mg/dl then eat some carbohydrates immediately.

   Quick Tip #2

   Try to include as much high fiber, low fat, complex carbohydrate and protein in your diet. This will help keep your blood sugar levels constant

   There are many books on hypoglycemia diet. If you’ve read some of them, by now you’re aware that many disagree on what type of diet to follow. It’s indeed confusing if you read one book and it tells you to eat a high protein/low carbohydrate diet, while another book says to consume low protein/high carbohydrate foods. Where does that leave you, the confused and bewildered hypoglycemic?

   First of all, I am sure that each author has enough confirmation and evidence that his or her diet is successful. Most likely, they all are. Probably, this is due to the fact that the big offenders (sugar, white flour, alcohol, caffeine and tobacco) are eliminated and six small meals are consumed instead.

   But the key to a successful hypoglycemia diet lies in its "individualization". Each one of us is different. Each one of us is biochemically unique. Therefore, every diet must be tailor-made to meet our individual nutritional requirements.

   The list of foods your physician gives you or the list you may read in your favorite book on hypoglycemia, even the suggested food list in the back of this book, are basic guidelines. Variations come with time and patience, trial and error. Don’t be afraid to listen to your body. It will send you signals when it cannot tolerate a food.

   So basically, stick to the suggestions in the following do’s and don’ts, and hopefully, with just a few adjustments during your course of treatment, a new and healthier you will gradually appear.

   DO…

   DO — Keep a daily account of everything you eat for one week to ten days. In one column, list every bit of food, drink and medication that you take and at what time. In the second column, list your symptoms and the time at which you experience them. Very often you will see a correlation between what you have consumed and your symptoms. When you do, eliminate those foods or drinks that you notice are contributing to your behavior and note the difference. DO NOT STOP MEDICATION. If you believe that your medication may be contributing to your symptoms, contact your physician. A diet diary is your personal blueprint: a clear overall view of what you are eating, digesting and assimilating. It can be the first indicator that something is wrong and, perhaps, a very inexpensive way of correcting a very simple problem.

   DO — Start eliminating the "biggies" — those foods, drinks and chemicals that cause the most problems: sugar, white flour, alcohol, caffeine and tobacco.

   DO — Be extremely careful when and how you eliminate the offending substances. Only YOU, with the guidance of a health-care professional, can decide. Some patients choose to go at a steady pace. If you drink

   There are many reasons for chronic fatigue and I think your friend should see a doctor and get some blood tests done.
