Just wanted to ask if others are experiencing this or if it’s just me, since I’m trying to figure out if it’s related to Paleo or something else. I am 35/F/135lb/5’4” and did Paleo in the past. After that I took a break but have decided to start again. It’s been about 1 week, and I’m noticing increased jitters/shakiness right before breakfast, and in the later afternoon. Could this be my body’s reaction to the sharp decline in carbs? Or underlying hypoglycemia… I wonder 🤔 I remember this from the last time, I think it may have gotten better when I was off it? But again not certain
Also what is your favorite high fibre paleo food?
If I was guessing I would bet you are dipping low enough on carbs to get a little hypoglycemia. Count them a few days in a row and see. Most people have the worst issues when they straddle the line between ketosis and glycolysis. That is typically somewhere between 60 and 90 g of carb.
You end up, riding the line too closely. You can go higher if that’s the case. Or get well below 50 to drop into ketosis, you may very well get some low-carb flu at that point. But it will pass in about a week. Paleo is agnostic when it comes to carbohydrate though. Either way is fine. if you do try ketosis, you might want to do some research on women, hormones and ketosis. Some women don’t respond as well. But some do fantastically. Just something to know about as you experiment.
Favorite high fiber, Paleo food, raspberries.
Thanks for the numbers, I’ll try to do a few days of tracking and see where I’m at. Very interesting to learn this because I’m still pretty new to it and have no idea about macros. I’ll look into the ketosis and hormonal side too, that’s a good point as well. I love raspberries, thanks for the suggestion :)
Happy to add to knowledge. If you run into question always feel free to ask.
