I officially hate breakfast

It doesn't matter what I eat. I either get JUST barely acceptable numbers or high numbers. Hopefully all they do is start having me take glyburide before breakfast in addition to bedtime.

I am so jealous of the women who can eat an english muffin or cereal or even have a small glass of milk with breakfast. All I want is to be able to not eat six servings of protein in the morning. I am a carb breakfast girl and this egg each day diet is making me ill. =(

I hear you.....I love my cereal and it kills me that I can't have it

I eat oatmeal in the morning for breakfast, sometimes w/a banana cut up in it which is actually more carbs than what I'm suppose to have and my #'s are always really good after breakfast. I get the flavored Quaker oats stuff...like banana bread, or maple and brown sugar...have you tried that? I miss cereal terribly, but the one time I had it I had a high #.

Good luck!

I've been getting up at 5 am and walking most days. This is the only way I have a good breakfast number. After my 45-1 hr walk (DH joins) I can eat pretty much anything I want for breakfast. I also have 8oz milk before I walk out the door. It sucks getting up so early, but I do it for the english muffin

I haven't tried oatmeal yet, but was going to this weekend. Do you get "sugar free" or just regular flavored? I can't do any of the sugar free foods because of the artificial sweeteners (they taste like chemicals to me and make me gag). Oatmeal would at least offer me a nice alternative! I like eggs but every day is grossing me out.

I hear you! I have steel cut oats in the morning with a few berries and its really good. Its a pain to make quickly, but I'll usually just make a big batch that will last the week. They seem to be the only carbs I can tolerate in the morning.

Ugh, I am so sick of 2 scrambled eggs and a slice of whole wheat toast. I dread breakfast now, but it's the best meal for my numbers. I miss cereal and oatmeal.

I was diabetic before I got pregnant. I eat these for breakfast and have great numbers...?Better than the Boxed Stuff Homemade Low Carb Pancakes

No hidden carbs, great flavor, and a texture that is very close to the real thing.
The recipe below takes one egg and makes 2 pancakes. Double or triple it to make more.

2.5 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder.?
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon vegetable oil?
1 tablespoon DaVinci Sugar Free Syrup, flavor of your choice. Vanilla, Caramel or English Toffee. (You can substitute 1 teaspoon Splenda with 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tablespoon water)
2 tablespoons water

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the egg, oil, Syrup or Splenda, and water. If batter is too thick to pour easily, add another tablespoon or two of water to thin out. Stir. Fry in a pan or griddle as you would regular pancakes. Turn when bubbles appear at edges.

Serve with Maple Grove Farms "Cozy Cottage" sugar free Maple Syrup, 1 gm sorbitol per tablespoon.

For two pancakes made with DaVinci syrup: 1 g carb 0 gm fiber.16 g protein. 14 g fat. 197 calories.

?GOOD LUCK!!!
