Interesting experience. I woke up today, and amazingly enough felt interested enough to do stuff. Thoughts and memories where flowing..anyway the day before I had eaten a fruit dinner, dates, bread, watermelon, grapes, blueberries...so in the morning I got stuff done...BUT come noon I started feeling hungry and made myself a very nutritious salad, fava beans, pistachios, brussel sprouts, arugula, onion, garlic and squeezed lemon juice...after this I felt demotivated, brain dead, so I fell asleep for an hour or two then woke up and felt the same nasty way of just not wanting, caring to do anything so I thought that the reason I felt so well in the morning was the meal I had the previous evening so I went and ate two dates and a pomegranate and sure enough my morning focus and motivation came back but later on on the same wave I ate some honey and I think that shot up my insulin too high thus dropping my sugar too low and I felt the nasty demotivated state of mind. Has anyone ever noticed this the first meal was high in nutrition yet low in sugar or starch yet when I ate the pure fruit I felt better, the missing link. So hypoglycemia or proper sugar/insulin balance is critical seems like for me. Any thoughts, personal experiences?
Hypoglycemia and terrible brain fog, very low motivation

blood glucose meters are very cheap to buy on ebay and such. it's better to know the numbers rather than guessing.

Just generally, how something makes you feel in the hours or even days after eating it is a very poor guide to its longer term effects. To cite an extreme example, I’m quite sure I’d feel great in the early days of starting up a heroin habit, but ...

Thank you it's worth a shot I def. Respond better with sugar and it seems I don't do well with grains.
How are your experiments with diet are going? Did you find optimal carbs for you?
