Low GI diet

[everydayupsanddowns]

I loved Dorset Cereals 'Simply Nutty' but unfortunately it didn't love me (combined with my liver to push me into the teens on many a morning).

I've had to abandon all cereals at breakfast now.

So what do you tend to have for Breakfast instead Mike - just looking for ideas - particularly on a work day.🙂

check if it has basic 'sugar' listed in the ingrediants ...vogel bread yummy yummy has no added sugar ....loads of whole grain ....

I was given a free portion of Dorset muesli after the Great South Run the other year - I nearly fell over with fright when I saw how much sugar was in it! 63g carbs/22g sugars per 100g 😱

dorset cerels was one of the culprits in 'what i thought was a good food for a healthy lifestyle' pre dx ...along with fruit (bucketsful) and fruit juice 🙄

check where the sugar is ... in the mix? or in the dried fruit content..? you can always remove the dried fruit ....
ive been recently eating granola but its sweet cos of coconut ...still ole bs seems to be fine ...im now considering just buying the basic raw ingredients seperately so i can mix my own

I eat tesco swiss style wholegrain muesli. In a blue bag. There's also one in a red bag similar.

carbs per 61g/100g
of which sugars 16.1g/100g

It works well with the low fat natural yoghurt instead of milk. Acquired taste.

Other mueslis are available.🙄

Pretty much exactly the way I used to enjoy the 'Simply Nutty' Robster (though I think that had slightly fewer carbs per 100g as the dried fruit content was low and made up for in a mix of nuts and seeds).

These days a couple of slices of Burgen Soya and Linseed bread as toast is my default brekkie. Even allowing for 2 teaspoons of jam it's still only around 35g CHO. Seems to suit my system much better (but won't necessarily be better for anyone else!).

I tend to follow up breakfast with a hearty wander round outside which may help to steady it but I think the yoghurt is the secret weapon for me.🙂
