"Piece of cake", lol.  I appreciate your response, Lynnet.  :)  I honestly don't eat or drink most of that stuff.  That's why I can't figure this out.  It's not as bad as it used to be, though.  The only grains I really eat is when I'm having a sandwich or pizza, which isn't often.  I don't drink soda or eat cereal but maybe four times a year for a "treat".  No fruit juice to speak of, either.  We mostly eat just meat and veggies.  With the occasional <ACK> McDonald's thrown in here and there when we're too busy at work to get something good.  (McD's is right across the alley, lol.)  Anyway, sounds like you may be right about the water fast...that I could handle it.  What are the reasons for doing the water fast???  There are many many days that I only eat one meal (I always drink a lot of water on a daily basis), which I thought was just terrible for my health.  No???

Probably your low blood sugar is reactive, meaning when you eat 
something that sets it off, like cereal, sweets, etc. it swings way too 
far and goes low. I've had this since my 20s. Put me off soda and 
cereals since then. So juice fasting is AWFUL, bounces
your blood sugar so low you can't stand it, break down, and eat, usually 
everything in sight.

However, your fasting blood sugar is probably stable. So eating no food 
will probably keep it stable for you. You'll be hungry, but not 
shakey. Hungry I can stand. For years I fasted every new moon day, 
though lazy me not doing it now. 

YMMV. Pay attention to your own body.

Unless your diet has been very clean, water fasting for more than a day 
at a time will release enough ugly gunk from your system that you'll 
feel pretty rank. So start with one day, or fast like Ramadan from 
sunup to sundown. At this time of the year, it's a piece of cake 
(oops!, wrong metaphor).

Eating every few hours for hypoglycemia only works if you eat the right 
things, low glycemic foods. If you're eating fruit every few hours 
you're causing yourself more problems than you're curing. Fruit juice 
or soda is the worst.
