I fast through breakfast. A lot of literature you read promoting breakfast comes from interest groups who benefit from you eating breakfast. If I was to eat breakfast, I would stick to something that would not move the needle with your sugar, like eggs or a 1/2 avocado.

You are a priority, self education is the best way to navigate your journey.

the best way is to load up on testing strips and test yourself after eating your meals. You will find what is working for you and what is not.

Funny terminology, once you test your foods and the response they provide, your eating should be really mechanical. Of course you will get food fatigue.

Tin of herring, 2 sausage and 2 pepper jack cheese sticks, 8 oz of water. Broke my 24 hour fast with the light weight meal.

Bluetit, consider yourself lucky not to crave snacks :)

Briped, thank you for sharing your recipe, I am going to give it a try. I have all of the spices on hand.

Jaynet, thanks for your reply. My first cup of coffee in the morning is usually with a tsp of coconut oil with full cream plus a sprinkle of cinnamon. I drink a lot of water throughout the day, I must admit it does get boring. Last cappuccino for me was before the diagnosis.
