A few years ago, when I started experiencing the on-and off discomforts from the un-dignosed hypoglycemia, a dear friend suggested that I started a food diary.
The reason to record what I had for dinner is to help me relate the foods I ate yesterday to how I feel today. This will help me, a not very fussy eater, single out the foods that make me feel woozy or experience other low blood sugar level related sympton such as blurred vision, fatigue, poor circulation, and insomnia.
Although I do appreciate the wisdom behind a personal food diary, I failed to take advantage of this simple and informative way to track my diet on paper until about a few weeks ago.
After I started recording what I had for meals and snacks each day, the intelligence I gathered from my food ledger led me to realize that I had too many sweet treats in my daily food intakes. My food diary also gave me some ideas as to the amount of the foods I was eating each day. I found I felt better if I had not stuffed myself the night before.
Now, thanks to my dear diary, I had finally figured out that in my case as far as my personal health is concerned, rich and sweet desserts are my worst enemies. - Ayee
