[QUOTE="luceeloo, post: 1241296, member: 78468"] Thanks all for your input yesterday. I'm over the "grumps" now, and have chalked it up to circumstance. I'm quite good with hydration, as I only drink one or two coffees in a morning and lots of water. So normally I get probably closer to 3 litres than 2 (I'm a big girl, I can take the extra litre). [USER=325261]@Quirkybee[/USER] Low Carb messes with your head at first. You have to unlearn everything that you thought you knew about nutrition. Cereal is just sugar wearing a wholegrain disguise! Some people can get away with oats, but not a lot of us can. There are low carb versions out there that you can pay a fortune for, but the quicker that you get yourself out of the habit of eating breakfast foods at breakfast time, the better. I watched a film once about Dr Kellogg. He owned a health sanitarium and believed that the consumption of meat led to carnal sin, so he created breakfast cereal - a bland food that he thought would diminish people's sexual desires. His brothers then took his recipes and marketed them to the masses without his blessing. In reality, grains were much cheaper than the eggs/meat/fish breakfasts that people were used to having and people fell for it. So, there was never a true health aspect to eating cereal - it was just all about keeping the mind pure, and making money. I think it still pretty much is about making money, because none of it is cheap - yet my husband works in agriculture and right now they are harvesting the grains, and I can tell you, the farmers get very little money for a whole load of grain.
