[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1854084, member: 41816"] Hi :) As [USER=155453]@catinahat[/USER] suggests, it may be simply because your body is not yet used to steady blood glucose release, and thinks that a jolt of sugar in the morning is 'normal'. The transition to Low Carb is a strange experience for some of us, and one that we just need to go through - either in one short sharp burst, or by stepping our carbs down more gradually over a few days. How long have you been having these low carb breakfasts? I don't know how old you are, or your size and weight, but is 2 eggs and some bacon enough? Considering that you are used to carbs in the morning, with RH to follow, perhaps if you ate more protein it would last you til lunch with good steady energy release. I would have a large cup of coffee with that, with cream in the coffee, and maybe a second cup at around 11am, and see what happens. Another alternative (as a transition) would be to have a small amount of carbs WITH your eggs and bacon. Say, 2 eggs, 3 rashers of bacon with cheese, AND a single slice of wholemeal buttered toast. Or a couple of rye crispbreads. Also, are you eating low carb the rest of the time? My experience of RH was that what I had to eat the day before plays a huge part in the way my body functions the whole of the next day. A carby evening meal will garuantee that my morning is wobbly, no matter how low carb I am at breakfast. [/QUOTE]
