Eating sugar will spike your blood sugar, so if you have low blood sugar, you should see a pretty quick rebound (like recovering from a bonk)
If your body is not coping well with being under fueled, then probably best not to worry about cutting calories before a week of cycling. I would eat to a slight surplus before a big week of cycling, 2kg less weight isn't going to help you much in Malaga if you're dying on the bike.

Yeah I'm feeling better. Will eat like a normal human today, not a normal me because thats ridiculous.
I've done the diet change many times but never felt that weakness before so wasn't sure what was going on.
I'm not losing weight for Malaga its just in the way of a general weight shift but will lay off the deficit for the next few days and next week is a free for all, yeeeehaaaa!

Started to feel ropey last night, weak, shaky, I felt myself clenching my jaw often and I began to panic. I really dont want to be ill as I'm going for a week of hard cycling in Malaga from Saturday which I have been counting the days to for months.
Looking at my nutracheck I am consistently every day way way below the recommended intake of sugar and have been since 26th December (even for my current recommended 1800cals) Seems to me that it would make sense that its round about now its started to cause me problems.
Does low blood sugar sort itself out quite quickly once I begin to take in more?
I've had High5 energy mix this morning to see if there is an effect.
