Intermittent fasting has taken my T2D fight to a much lower level. Just sayin
I’ve been prediabetic for over a year now. My cardiologist suggested a similar breakfast plan to that described above, plus half day fasts (skipping breakfast) twice a week. I also began walking 1.5 - 2 miles nearly every day. That’s quite a work-out, given that I live in the hills at the foot of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon.
My blood-sugar has stabilized and I stopped gaining weight after I began the “plan”.
Started doing this decades ago. I realized that breakfast daily would just make me fat so I stopped except as an occasional lunch substitute. Still got Type II. I don’t think it matters all that much.
Damned! There goes breakfast at Cracker Barrel!
Once again demonstrating how little we get for our research dollars...
smh
I eat 3-4 eggs with sausage almost daily for breakfast. If I do eat bread, I have a Mission Low Carb Tortilla or Keto bread I purchase from the store. It’s my favorite meal of the day.
They should be.
However, start small and you'll have better chance for success. Do one meal a day and when you are used to it, make another small change.
It's less of a shock to the system and you are less likely to fall off the wagon.
OMAD is one meal a day intermittent fasting.
It works.
Even eating your meals within a few hours timeframe works.
But, but! I thought they told us breakfast is the most important meal of the day!
Cereal and milk. Orange juice. Hot cakes. Toast and eggs. Slab of meat of choice.
Hard to change a lifetime of habits. But we gotta try.
protein for breakfast
Gee, who would have thought that eating less sugar (carbs) would help with diabetes?
For me it’s two scrambled eggs and either sausage or bacon. Maybe a CarbMaster yogurt from Kroger. Love the mango flavored.
Coffee half and half sometimes. Or green tea with Spenda.
“A low carb breakfast had enough positive impact on diabetics that blood sugar was pretty much stabilized the rest of the day.”
Only took 30 years for the medical profession to START catching up to Dr. Atkins.
I tried the keto diet a couple of years ago. I’m 75 - so no spring chicken and I’m not on any meds. I am of slight built but had gained up to 175 from 155. It was very hard for me to give up the carbs and I wasn’t successful at first. Finally, after about 6 months I began to see some good changes. My food cravings pretty much stopped. I wasn’t ‘snacking’ anymore and I had more energy. I just felt a lot better. I was eating mostly two meals a day - breakfast and then another around 2:00 - 2:30 pm. It became easier to say no to sugary foods and I lost down to 145 (what I weighed when I graduated high school). The problem (other than friends thinking I was dying) is it’s kind of a boring diet and now they say that you shouldn’t stay on that diet permanetly. So gradually I returned to my former eating patterns but I’m feeling more and more sluggish and low energy again. Going back to keto for this summer (I find it easier to do during the warm months - winter is harder). No perfect diet - just have to be a little more disciplined than I’d like to be ☺️
Everyone is different and you have to do what works best for you, your body type and lifestyle. Just my 2¢ worth.
There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
‘m pretty much a one meal a day person. Don’t eat after that. No restriction on fluids but usually ice tea is my go to.
Eliminating food from your diet has also proven to help there’s no dietary control short of starvation that has any effect on type two
PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR PING LIST. THANX.
450 calories just for breakfast? I think I see the problem.
