Sorry if I am not allowed to post this here. But I would like some ideas if anyone has any.

I am a vegetarian.

I would love some low sugar or sugar free snack ideas because even eating things like Greek yogurt (or even regular) that are supposed to be healthy kill my energy level.

Do others here notice instant energy levels dropping after sugary snacks?

What ideas do you have that can be carried with you?

Have you been checked for diabetes? High sugar snacks five you energy for a short time but then cause your blood sugar to drop quickly.

The diabetes forum would be a good place to get snack ideas, too

I might check there even though I am not diabetic. I would feel out of place but you're right in that they might have some good ideas.

I used to go to extreme depression from sugar, now just to loss of energy/exhaustion.

I never have gotten the sugar highs, only the lows.

Thanks.

Uhura- sounds like you have reactive hypoglycemic reaction. It's common in fibromites. You can look it up on line and they have some great food choices. I suffer from it, but don't stay away from sugar like I should. I feel terible and weak after these episodes. You think I would learn to eat better. Lol

I will look it up. I have had this mood/food connection for several years even though fibromyagia is new.
