[QUOTE="Binky21, post: 1239918, member: 187005"] Somewhere on the web there is a great recipe for a lo carb cereal mainly made from nuts and seeds and you eat it with berries. I had to give up cereal because of the high fasting BGs. It was painful but there was no way around it. Almond butter is expensive but its quite sweet for a savoury thing if you know what I mean. I used to try various lower carb fruit spreads on L/C Toast but still after breakfast reading would be high and I was always hungry because no protein or fat. Your other option could be some kind of coconut flour/ l/c bake mix as a pancake or waffle and use sugar free maple syrup. Maybe a coconut oil based home made chocolate with stevia as a topping for lo carb toast. Google it, its called chocolate bark and is yummy when you are very L/C. Ruth's comment on visceral fat could be correct although I have not heard of it. I am apple shape and am now wondering whether those of us with the big dawn phenomena issue are predominantly apples?? Fasting may work for you, it didn't for me but because I take so much medication (tons of health issues), I only managed it a few times as it made me sick. It didn't have an immediate impact on fasting BG as I had anticipated but as someone else suggested it may well do over time as dawn phenomena does tend to take a couple of weeks to register a change. Like you I sometimes get unexpectedly brilliant morning readings and I cant pinpoint it at all. [/QUOTE]
