Oh man, I am hypoglycemic as well and the very thought of rice when I am low makes me dizzy. The crash I get from rice is horrible! When my sugar starts to get low I usually have a little juice or a piece of fruit, some yogurt or cheese, and maybe some scrambled eggs if I can.

adrenal glands.  carbs cause stress.  stress when unable to deal with...causes the crash.  the fatigue.  adrenals are kicked to death.  So. animus and the other guy just haven't broken down their adrenals quite yet.  Carbs don't help much.  People like me used to never crash.  then I went through the IB program in high school, then all the way to chiro school-  I was crushed under mounds of stress.  now, i'm only barely recovering.  Its taking a lot of work too.  carbs are stress, just like emotions can be stress.  just cause you can deal with stress doesn't mean it ISN'T stress Smiley.

Not to mention stress is inflammatory which leads to a lot of nasty side effects. Basically, catabolic/negative emotions/shorter life span/etc. -- pretty much everything negative -- is in someway associated with each other.

Alzheimer's is called type III diabetes by some for a reason...

Add Muse in and you're talking. The child could also correct our French grammar and teach us to bend in ways we didn't know existed, then readjust our backs when we break them due to failing at flexibility.

As an Asian (or at least half), I love rice and it's never made me tired or anything. All the time I'll make a large bowl of rice or eggs in the morning. Gets me through the day.

I'm half-asian, and after going on a 2 month carb restricted diet, not having rice everyday made me WAY more tired, compared to having rice for EVERYMEAL (yes, I consume jasmine white rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Not sure if it's an asian thing or not, but my father, who is full Filipino, consumes a plateful of rice every meal, and as fit as I am, I doubt I could ever keep up with him.

Minus the carb diet, this is my exact scenario.

YAY FILIPINOS!

but I guess that means I have to take "The Filipino" out of my box thing...

i'm half asian as well, but when i restricted my carbs for 2 months, i definitely noticed higher energy levels. I used to consume tons of carbs and rice, especially at breakfast, and i would definitely notice a period of down time in my energy.
