I will not lie. Living with someone with LBS is hard, but having LBS is harder. For Nan it's not about cheating and eating unhealthy foods. No, she has a lot of self-control in that area. For her it's about eating only healthy, organic food-- and she wants it to taste good as well. Since I like to cook so that's not the hard part either. What's difficult for Nan is getting enough food, enough of the good proteins and carbs.
Otherwise she lives in a perpetual state of hypoglycemia. I can always tell. Her eyes get glazed and she starts to complain and all of a sudden a perfectly sunny, happy day turns dark and cloudy--in her mind and body.
So the trick is to eat three good sized meals a day and three or more snacks. The snacks need to be protein and carb. One of her favorites is almond milk and a gf muffin or an apple with a scoop of almond butter. And it's vital to always have a snack or two with you when you leave home. Essential.
LBS goes wherever you go.
