Hey /fit/, what's good?

Ok, so I very rarely have sugar in my diet. Actually I should reiterate: I do have sugar, but only in the form of fruit and vegetables. I try (and succeed) to stay away from processed sugar and starch and breads and the like. I eat very healthy actually.

I lost 85 pounds last year from 225lbs (102kg) to 140lbs (63kg), and then gained 15 and kinda stayed at 155 (70kg) cause I was tired of exercising EVERY day. So I'm pretty healthy.

Oddly enough, last nite, I had a little get together with a few friends, and my friend, she brings over like a bajillion cookies. Oddly enough, today, I'm off from work and over the course of the day I eat 4 of these big peppermint chocolate cookies. About 4 hours ago I feel real tired and dizzy and crash in bed immediately. I wake up just now and I feel like im on a rollercoaster and my heart keeps going into my stomach. I feel real cloudy and spacey and my right hand and foot are tingly.

I know basically whats happening-- I have an intollerance of the sugar, and cant metabolize it properly since it doesn't have the complexity of vegetable/fruit sugar and is lacking things like minerals and fiber to slow it down. So it's giving my pancreas a run for its money. I'm not an idiot and I'm actually a Nutrition major. But this has never happened to me, and I'm debating going to a doctor/hospital. Anyone have a similar situation before and maybe some advice?

(Pic in NO WAY related--- searched for dancing pancreas and got patrick swayze...?)

Thank you for putting it in kgs as well as pounds.

I had a similar thing but nowhere near as bad as you. I suggest drinking water and waiting a bit more and if it is not showing any signs of getting better ring the doctor.

Ah thanks mate, appreciate the advice. I took some B6, beet extract and chromium and chewed some cayenne (that was fun) and it did very little. Didn't think to drink water, but ya---that's actually a real good idea.

Funny story about the kg conversion--- I work at a nutrition center and I recently been counciling a woman from Australia so I've been brushing up on it. I tell ya-- Us septics need to get our shit straight and convert. It's so much easier.

OP yes, you're like me--you have strong reactive hypoglycemia. I treat it by eating healthy and only eating junk food at a place where I know I can crash for a bit, depending on the food (you kind of build an internal library of foods that will fuck your shit up, like if I eat a pizzone from pizza hut, even if I was as energetic as can be I have an unstoppable urge to lay down where I am and sleep). Adrenaline can take me over the hump, as well as caffeine, but the best thing you can do is eat a healthy snack and let it metabolize--stress and caffeine just burn hypoglycemics out.

yeah
i'm american but my fiancee is from south america
i grew up customary but can use metric to a certain extent (g are still hard for me and L are impossible (but so are gallons for me), but m are easy) and my fiancee of course grew up metric

so we're only going ot raise our kids with metric even though they're growing up in the us

niggas can learn to use customary when they get to school

kinda like how we're not going to speak english at home--they can learn that shit in day care that we pay for
