You really don't think that spreading those carbs out would have produced the same result? The extreme position on carbohydrate simply will not die. This is like saying I drank a half bottle of whiskey everyday, trained like shit, slept like shit and got fat. I drink zero whiskey and it went away.
    I know that you're completely anti low carb but cutting out those foods has made a dramatic improvement in how I feel. If OP is having problems it might be something to consider. Maybe he just needs to eat more carbs.

It is hard for me to add more rice or potatoes as I pack my meals in a thermos and only have so much room. Thanks for your advice.
    Again i'm not following how lowering your carbohydrate intake is going to raise your blood sugar from these hypoglycemic levels.

    You changed several variables at once and reported that a singular change was responsible for all of it.

    Resurrecting this because I had a similar problem. Exactly which company sold your whey protein? New World Nutritionals was a major seller on Amazon and eBay. It turns out what they were selling as whey protein (also egg white protein) was maltodextrin, a sugar with a glycemic index higher than table sugar.
