The Great Sugar-Free Popsicle Binge: How It Began, How It Ended
The NSA fudgesicles are evil.
Once I bought them- I ate them. The stats were not bad. They had some proteins, sugar from milk, and fiber. So instead of dinner- I ate fudgesicles. I was maintaining - so - no harm done, right? And the SA in them would clean me out the next day - so - I got 3-in-on: dinner-pleasure eating them- and great BM.
Until one day - I ate 4-6? Maybe more... over a few hours - and then, 1 hr later I got the shakes - the sweat, the rapid hearth palpitation - no, it could not be... not hypoglycemia again. But - yes - the way I felt - and my blood sugar tester revealed a BS of 36. Not good. It took a while to bring it back, and then few days to have my system stable. I still had some fudgesicles left, and they were calling my name - so a week or so later - I ate 4 as a dinner. 1 hr later - you guess - my blood sugar dropped again. Not as low as before, since I measured it and respond to the distress when it was just under 50. But - that meant - no more fudgesicles for me. I can't control myself when they are in the house, and the pleasure of 10-15 min of eating them does not pay for the unpleasant, long lasting reactive hypo. One more ready to eat tread is on the "forbidden" list.
Now - I make my own protein ice cream and have no guilt eating it - and no BS crushes.
