Breakfast

[spaxman]

What's everyone's breakfast recommendations? Any favourites? Anything easy and quick to make before you leave for work?

Eggs cooked any which way, with bacon if you have time, cold meats, last night's left overs, plain full fat yogurt with a few berries, coffee with cream.

Does that help?

Great thanks! Any coffee in particular? And cream as a sugar substitute?

Haven't had breakfast since diagnosis.. just a mug of tea or two with lactofree milk.. a coffee at 11 a.m. with double cream then lunch if not fasting..

Any coffee will do, but I stick to decaf personally. Double cream will sweeten it. That is all I have for breakfast and it keeps me full till lunch time.

I have just spent a few days watching the effect of my old favourite wholewheat cereal breakfast with fruit and a little milk on my sugar. Even with tiny portions (why even bother?) I got a spike. The last couple of days its been eggs, with ham or cheese and a tomato. Bingo! This morning levels 5.4 before breakfast, 5.4 2 hours later. That will do for me! Today I had a cup of tea, but often its just water. No hunger before lunch and its quick and easy.

For me a favourite of late is a bowl of the following: greek yoghurt (containing probiotics), homemade granola (basically large porridge oats baked in the oven with nuts and drizzled with a drop of honey), berries (smashed into the yoghurt), sliced banana, and a few more nuts and seeds on top.

Enjoy!

This sounds delicious, if you happen to be a T1. Sadly, we T2's couldn't eat this without spiking to the heavens. @spaxman is a newly diagnosed T2 not on insulin.

I generally have a cup of fresh coffee with double cream. I might have some salami and some cheese. If I have more time - poached egg on ham, fried egg & bacon, ham omelette.

My apologies! New on the scene! All the best.

Omelettes are quick and easy to make.

Is porridge any good, or is it not recommended?

Sounds right up my street! Porridge ok for LCHF?

 

[Julia99]

It's about the only carb I have and I think if you have the proper porridge oats it's ok as it's slow release. It probably depends on whether you are prepared to have small amount of carbs.

Some people can handle small amounts of porridge others can't you will have to test to find out what group you are in. I some times have scrambled egg with salmon, or cheese.
