Thanks Susan! What I need to do is to limit my portions, mostly. I
just don't feel like cooking & eating eggs at breakfast all the time.
So I have been eating cereal......now tired of that.


If you don't want to give up a bowl of something cold and wet in the
morning, you could try what I do. Original Fiber One has only 11 net
carbs per serving, and is sweetened with aspartame instead of sugar. I
will have maybe a half-serving of that, a few tablespoons of chia seed,
some crushed walnuts or pecans and maybe a handful of berried. Add
almond milk and a splash of heavy cream. Yummy!

I like steel cut oat meal (only draw back is that it take over 20 min.
to cook) I has a lower glycemic effect for me. Aspartame does not
aggree with me so I use stevia or splenda. I use soy milk.


I'm not a fan of aspartame either. I wish the folks at General Mills
would switch to Splenda, but you take what you can get. Fiber One is
the best kept secret as far as low-carb, mass-produced cereals are
concerned. Steel cut oats are still pretty high carb. Soy milk is fine
(as far as carb counting is concerned), though some folks like to avoid
soy products.
