I wish I could do those. I have so many food allergies I can't eat or drink the carbadvantage stuff or the low cal high protein stuff. That is what put me in the hospital, my face blew up LOL funny now.....not then. I have to stick to nature......and hope for the best.

I had an Atkin's Low Carb Chocolate Fudge bar (one of the breakfast types).

I'm already hungry again.

Went for broke this AM...one fried egg sandwich and coffee w/ cream & Splenda. Arnold's whole wheat Sandwich Thins, toasted and buttered, w/ 2 fried eggs between. I try to add quite a bit of protein & fat to tip the carb ratio when I eat something like those Sandwich Thins.

This oughtta be interesting on the BG front...I woke up high today with a 125. I probably deserved that one...yesterday was rough.

I wasn't horrid, but I pushed the limits.

Wasn't going to eat for a while but by breathing, it went up to 136.

Might as well eat.
Sooo...I'm fighting fire with fire.
I must be in a mood.

Testing convenes in half an hour...

The jury is still out on that one, Jeremy.

If I toast one half (side) of one and slather it with Omega 3 chunky peanut butter, I barely move the meter 10 points. It was my first meal of the day that day, but it was closer to noon. I have yet to double it and see if that makes an enormous difference. A happy thing to occasionally add to my menu.

I made a smoked turkey & provolone sandwich w/ mayo for a fly away supper one night and it raised my BG about 20 or so points. Not bad for a "bread meal.".

Today, in a mood over my fasting numbers, I used a whole one to make a fried egg sandwich and one hour into it, I'm up by 37 points.

First time I've tried it with eggs...and in the early AM, when I'm most sensitive to carbs.

But it's been nothing like what you've experienced with them.
Then again, YOU get to eat mashed potatoes...

Just tested again and my BG is dropping...so a peak pf 37 is what happened.

LOL just so you know what I think, you are doing great. If I eat 1 slice of bread, high fiber or not, my BG raises by 100 to 175 points,,,,,your peaks are super, keep up the good work.

Oh my - today WOULD be the day you'd ask this!

Well, we had bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, sourdough pancakes, honeydew melon, orange juice, milk & coffee. I partook of some bacon, sausage, eggs, one pancake with agave syrup and coffee. My BG was at 112 after about 90 minutes. Will test again in a little bit to keep an eye on the agave.

You want some more company?

A very nice Latte was my breakfast.

I generally don't eat breakfast, except at the weekend and then it's normally two small slices of wholemeal bread, toasted, with some cheese or cold meats. I occassionally will have a small pitta pocket stuffed with the meat & cheese. I made a nice breakfast for myself last weekend. Got a small ramekin, lightly greased it with some butter, then lined it with some cooked ham and cracked a large egg into it. Placed in the oven for about 10 minutes (until egg cooked my liking) at 180c/360f. When I took it out of the oven I put some fresh ground black pepper on top - ok, so I had two of them.

Scrambled egg whites, 2 strips of soy bacon and half a large red delicious apple. bg 110 - 122.

Also had good bg results with new cereal HiLo maple pecan served with plain light soy milk.

My favorite breakfast lately was discovering Big Train low carb pancake mix, yum. I get better results from this plate of pancakes than from a piece of whole wheat toast. and it's even more yum with Smart Balance on top, sf cool whip on side, and blueberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg mixed in the batter.

We've been picking fresh figs lately too. And there are even still a few watermelons growing! No apple tree here but our lemon is doing nicely.

I've had good bg results but not losing weight anymore. I've found too many good low carb foods!

Thanks, Poppy. You're a sweetheart to say so.

But do know that slices of bread, even whole grain, raise my BG higher that this other item I've mentioned. Not as high as what you've described happening (good grief - happens to me with rice or oatmeal!), however, but almost double the spike of these Thins.

The entire Sandwich Thin is about 17 net carbs (21 minus 4 grams of fiber)...the equivalent, I think, of one slice of toast/bread. Yet I'd bounce more with the bread...probably 'cause I'd likely eat it as buttered toast. I really think the presence of the protein/fat combination helps avoid real disaster in my case.

BTW, love the Halloween windows!
