It seems that there is a recurring pattern here that all of us need to eat to ensure we don't get low blood sugar - my guess is this is completely common in anxiety sufferers since we use our energy reserves up so much quicker.
I think this is why I have had problems with my weight because I am eating constantly to avoid low blood sugar levels which feel just like the beginning of a panic attack.
The trick is to find foods that keep your levels steady and I suppose if our regular meals are really well balanced then this will go an awful long way to helping.
Obviously for me the prob was undoubtably adding chocolate and pringles in the whole day.
Aswell as substituting the little odd bowl of cereal I think munching on fruit and nuts in between my meals is helping. I have cut back on bread but I do make sure I have plenty of protein in there too.
Also where we used to eat a whole pizza each with chips etc, now we will have half a pizza each and the other half of the plate is loaded with salad.
There are so many ways that you can knock a few calories off without going to bonkers with it all - if we don't eat some stuff that we like then we arn't going to stick with it at all, cos it gets boring and too hard.
