Hi everyone.
I have some blood-sugar issues and have to eat every couple of hours. I have always had a bit of sugar sensativity, meaning if I ate something sweet by itself (meaning not on a full stomach), I'd get a buzz and then crash really quickly (within an hour). But I was fine if I had a couple of cookies right after a nutritious, protein-rich meal.
Now that I've gone vegan (it's only been a few weeks) even if I've just had a huge plate of rice, beans and steamed veggies, if I eat a cookie or drink some sweetened tea, I still get a buzz. This makes me physically uncomfortable, and is a problem because I usually have some mint tea after dinner to help cut down on gas, and I can't drink any tea without sugar (too bitter). As for the other sweet stuff, I need to cut down on that anyway.
Any thoughts?
