| Help with (academic) test
I will be taking a grueling 6 hour (plus, hopefully, some snack and bathroom breaks) exam in June. I've had very good success in lowering my a1c (6.1 to 4.9) through diet and exercise. I think my carbs (about 75 a day/I'm 132 lbs.) may be a bit too low as I sometimes have more trouble concentrating/with energy level with this low carb diet. I may increase and test to see how I do, but I digress. During a test a year ago, I survived and passed the exam with green tea and lots of healthy carbs during snacks. At least I think that helped - I was still tired by the end of the exam (I'm an almost 59 yr. old female.) But I did well.
Anyway, do any of you have suggestions/experience in eating many more carbs than usual for endurance for an athletic event or academic event? I don't want to overload and get a headache or dizzy! Thanks. |
