My numbers after lunch and dinner are usually fine, but after breakfast it's a different story. I am cutting out fruit completely at breakfast and that seems to help, but I am sick of what I am eating - lots of eggs. Before GD, my breakfasts were usually oatmeal and fruit, yogurt and fruit, healthy ceral and fruit. All of those spike my levels like crazy.
What all of your ladies eating for breakfast? Any creative ways of preparing eggs?
TIA!
Re: GD ladies - help me with breakfast
I know, I miss my granola and yogurt desperately! I scramble eggs, or egg beaters with mushrooms, green onions, peppers or whatever other veggie I have and add extra sharp cheddar cheese. Sometimes some marjoram or fresh herbs goes in too. Sometimes I will put it all in a whole wheat tortilla with salsa and other times I just have some toast. If I am feeling particularly bored I will make a breakfast sandwich with some turkey sausage, ham or veggie "sausage" and tomatoes.
Good luck, and remember it's only temporary. I am planning on having yogurt with granola and fruit in the hospital after baby comes!
If I don't have time, its 2 pc toast and pb
If I do I saute zucchini, tomato and canadian ham in EVOO with an egg with a slice of american melted over it on a deli sandwhich thin (I love this but I am so sick of it I am on the pb toast)!
I can't stand eggs in the morning anymore. I read somewhere that milk with cereal actually spikes sugars for some. I wish I remember where so I could post it.
Honey nut cheerio's or frosted flakes, half a bagel with cream cheese or margarine (no carbs!), or if I need something quick I get the low sugar Carnation Instant Breakfast and either a Nutri Grain or Special K cereal bar. All of which are pretty easy on carbs.
