Chinese Food...Ugh

Don't get me wrong, I love Chinese food -but something's going funky. We went out for a quick bite at a restaurant whose food I like because it's not too greasy or sauce-y. I finished the meal feeling slightly light headed, nauseous, and brain dead. I told my b/f that I couldn't listen to him talk anymore because my brain could not compute anything more than "it is cold out". I think it's one of several things (or some mixture thereof):

(a) the simple carbs - rice. I haven't had simple carbs in a long long time save for the occasions these past couple of weeks that I've gone out (maybe two or three times - each time less than 1/2 a cup was consumed). Perhaps I'm hypoglycemic, or just cannot process sugar that well.

(b) caffeine - I had an iced coffee (my first in over a month) this afternoon and tea tonite. Perhaps I was coming down from a 'high'?

(c) sodium - I have not had a lot of sodium in my diet since I started TG - perhaps this has a whammy of a dose which is making me light headed and thirsty


I felt nauseous and jittery last nite after the potatoes, so I'm wondering if it's a combination of the carbs and sodium that has my body all funked up. Oog.
