Thanks for your suggestions and compliment, Nicholas! I know I’ve to cut my bread intake, but so far I haven’t been able to find a replacement that is easy to prepare and not too expensive. Yes, I know it’s a decision (between health, time and money) I’ve to make. But I appreciate your advice. Cheers!

You’ll do even better if you ditch most of the bread too. It’s all sugar after 20 minutes. Try 1 slice with a lean source of PROTEIN. Your mood will continue to improve, headaches will go away, etc.

Thing is, the protein will balance your blood sugar and your symptoms are Classic low blood sugar.

Lean sources of protein include fish, turkey, chicken, lamb.

You might want to treat BreakFast like lunch/dinner.

Thanks for a great site!

Well, it has been giving me some problems, especially in the late morning. For the most part, I don’t even really like sweet stuff all that much anymore, so it hasn’t been a huge problem.

My husband however? He will ‘snack’ on Halls cough drops… and wonder why he has exorbitant dental bills.

There’s no need to cut sugar totally, especially if it has never given you any problem. But, it’s good to monitor your blood sugar given your family background.

For me, I find that I’m more prone to headaches when too much sugar is in my diet. Again, ‘too much’ here can be quite subjective, though I’m sure all of us can agree that 22 tsp of sugar a day is way too much for anyone.

I heard recently that the average American consumes about 22 tsp of sugar daily. 22!!! I have cut way back as well, but still fall victim to jam in the morning. I will definitely need to start paying attention as both my parents are borderline Type II. Found rice syrup or agave to be pretty easy on my system, if I need something on my oatmeal in the morning.

But oh, that evening lager every night… (sigh)
