After waking up: Blood Sugar was 113. Ugh (I'll never understand how the body can have sugar when when on low carb.)
Lordy...I am happy as a pig playing in mud! Bloating and constipation gone. Weight back down from 280 to 276, but not down to my lowest of 274 this month. I didn't expect a drop since I took a sip of coffee w/regular creamer yesterday a.m., but I dumped it. On the road again!
Yesterday, I replaced some foods with Atkins meal bars and shakes to try to break my yo-yo. It seems to have worked. They are higher in carbs, but have lots of fiber, so net carbs are low. On the LCHF plan I am on, I'm not supposed to use artificial foods, but I was willing to give it a try so that I could turn things around.
I would like to thank everyone on FS that have supported me
and talked me through another army crawl.

I've heard that we have a natural high value of blood sugar when waking up. Related to some sort of hormonal wake-up boost. A more correct value can be had an hour after waking up.

my bro swears by a cup of cottage cheese before bed. Says it lowers your morning sugars by giving the body something to process while your sleeping.

Because your body turns proteins into glucose when your low on glucose, try taking in more healthy fats and that should help combat that

My dietician when I had gestational diabetes said to have protein snack before bed to help with overnight sugars. String cheese, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt are good options.

Thank you to all you FS Friends for your support and tips. I understand that there is what is called the 'Dawn Phenomenon' for a.m. elevated blood sugar, mine has been slightly higher than usual. I am going to see what happens if I lower my protein for a few days.

I was 270 back in October. Lost 58 pounds now simply by counting calories and walking daily. I started with 1800 calories a day, then dropped it to 1500, then 1200. could not go below that...I was too hungry. At first, I had to eat a lot of "filler" foods, foods that made me feel full without adding a lot of calories. High fiber foods like Fiber One cereal and snacks. I also are a lot of carrots. This helped the initial hungry pains, but I also ate yogurt, turkey burgers, lean chicken, and lots of fruit and veggies. As my stomach shrunk in size, I got full sooner and didn't have to eat as much to feel satisfied. 1200 calories was possible for me. in also walked 60 minutes a day, everyday. Lost pounds a week until I reached my goal of 220. Slowly I'm increasing my caloric intake to avoid losing more. I'm back up to 1800 calories, still walking and seem to still be losing about 1 pound a week.
Caloric restriction and exercise work. And eating the right foods helps to make it a lifelong commitment
