Low blood sugar is bad news for any bear. :) I think a few really powerful tools to help with this are: be really conscious of what we're eating ("eat with our mind"), eat more slowly, drink less during meals and choose foods with adequate protein, fat and fiber. Going easy on the carbs and even whole grains, in sensitive people, may curb cravings. Also, anything that lifts up your emotional state could help impact appetite. You need less comfort food if you find comfort/satisfaction elsewhere. This isn't always easy to do, but I think it's something to strive for. Be well! JP Ha! :)
