Breakfast Nightmare!


I have a different breakfast issue, I have never really liked it however, my solution might also work in your case.

I start my day with:

10g Good Green Stuff (NuZest - over 75 essential. It's, mins, enzymes etc)

25 Good Clean Protein (NuZest) (wild strawberry- there are 5 flavours, all 100% European golden pea protein, no GM etc)

1 tablespoon milled chia

1 tablespoon milled flax

500 ml water or coconut milk

All put together in a portable shake bottle....which you could take to work

Tasty, everything nutritionally you need and low carbs of around 5g in total

I take tinned sardines to work for breakfast , low carb and filling. If I have leftovers from the day before , such as bratwursts or other meats, I take them instead and eat cold.
 
Hi, never heard of the first two ingredients - I am in the UK. Perhaps you misread my original post - I HAVE to eat carbs at every meal, but would prefer tasty alternatives to bread, as I tend to end up having that for lunch too in sandwich form, and I do not like sweet foods! Just as well, being a highly sensitive diabetic!
 
I also do not like it but it is a necessary evil!

Why ?

Because I am told that it is what I have to do and I also going low carb means FOR ME going severely hypo when I have injected insulin for my blood sugar levels - with half an hour. Also I am type 1 - things might be different for type 2, I do not know.
 

Ok got you. The first 2 are from the uk www.nuzest.co.uk

Just need to add some fruit to this such as strawbs and blueberries and that will lift your carbs to about 20-25g

We all have to experiment to find out what we can personally eat there is no right or wrong Some people can manage perfectly well with having smaller portions of foods without cutting out any of them some others say they have to stop eating certain foods we are all so different Only you know what level of carbs you need to eat to prevent having the serious hypos so you must go with what you know is best for you not what others may do
 
Latvianchick now has her own thread in Type 1 where she can get advice about her breakfast/insulin regime
