Whenever I get symptoms (irritability, headaches, dizziness...) I always crave sugar, and I know logically that I'm supposed to eat other things instead (carbs with fat and protein at once) but I have trouble thinking of tiny snacks that involve all those things and are quick to make.
I'm trying to eat small things often, which is helpful, but it's usually a matter of grabbing an apple, or an oatmeal bar, and these things don't combine the three types of food. Good for dieting, bad for hypoglycemia.
Dieting would be so much easier if avoiding food didn't make me grouchy and sick...
(Oh yeah, FYI, I'm 24 pounds above my "healthy weight", according to the body mass index charts. So the dieting isn't crazy. ;)

Eat more protein: boil a dozen eggs and keep them handy, eat peanutbutter, keep a package of string cheese handy, eat a scoop of cottage cheese, eat a handful of nuts.
You're probably both hypoglycemic and "sugar sensitive" which is why you crave sweets and feel bad after you eat them due to your specific body chemistry.
It may not be low blood sugar that makes you irritable and dizzy but it could be sugar withdrawals- you feel bad, you crave sugar, and you take a "hit".
The best thing to do is to wean off all sweets and simple carbs first, balance your blood sugar and then worry about dieting. Trying to limit calories, eat sweets and manage your blood sugar is just going to make you feel bad for as long as you're doing it.
Also, once you get your sugar under control, you'll easily lose weight.

You might want to consider all natural Energizing Soy Protein. It's a vegetable protein with no cholesterol, saturated fats, or artificial flavors or preservatives. It curbs the appetite, and is a real "energy" booster and maintains your blood sugar level.
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

I would encourage your to try a cleanse.
I feel amazing after just a few weeks - actually started feeling good by day 4.
You get all the snacks you need AND you eat real food too.

The only way to keep your blood sugar up is to grap a fruit, or yogurt, or peanut butter crackers. Or you can drink fruit drinks like orange juice. Hope this helps...

orange juice has sugar, bannanas have loads of sugar, however it is simple carbs so it burn up very quickly. peanut butter is about best. sugar, fills you up quick, low carbs, and high protein for that extra weight burning metablism boost.
