[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1531287, member: 41816"] I could have written this :D And after (what feels like centuries of) experimentation with diet, carbs and my meter, i have discovered that by strictly avoiding all gluten, my carb tolerances for root veg, sugar and fruit have improved. But a single dose of gluten screws up my blood glucose for weeks. By that i mean that during the 2-3 weeks it takes for me to get over a gluten intake, my blood glucose over reacts to any carbs. Those bran flakes (which I love) would be a perfect example of a simple thing that would have exactly that unfortunate knock on effect... My breakfasts are v varied. Mon to Fri I tend to just have a glug of cream in my coffeesubstitute. Although I had a low carb hot choc one day this week, and it worked well, both in terms of blood glucose and brain focus. Saturdays i have anything from scrambled eggs to cold ham, sliced cheese, leftovers, avocado, baked avocado with salsa, gluten free toast, low carb mug cake (here's a link to some recipes [URL]http://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2015/03/low-carb-mug-cake-recipes.html[/URL]). Sundays I am often out with a friend for breakfast followed by the longest dog walk of the week, and we go to different places every time. Steak and eggs, mushroom omelette, kippers, scram egg with smoked salmon, bacon and egg. Not being able to eat sausages (cos they've got gluten in) has really cramped my style! So i only eat sausages at home nowadays, so I can scrutinise the ingredients. [/QUOTE]
