A member asked:

I am hypoglycemic and trying to lose 20 pounds .im 5'2 143 pounds.whats the best way to lose without getting weak or blood sugar getting to low?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low carb: A typical low carb, high protein, low calorie diet is fine in the setting of someone who is prone to hypoglycemic episodes. It's counter intuitive, but eating a meal that is high in carbs is more likely to cause an episode. Not the other way around.
