Magic Breakfast #3


Typical Breakfast
2 cups cornflakes with 1 cup 2% milk
1 cup coffee or tea

Total GL: 49
Total calories: 321

Magic Breakfast
3/4 cup Grape-Nuts Flakes with 1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 ounce (14 g) slivered almonds
1 cup coffee or tea

Total GL: 19
Total calories: 258

The Fixes
  • Switched the high-GL cereal for a lower-GL cereal.
  • Decreased the cereal serving to further cut the GL.
  • Cut calories and fat by switching from 2% milk to fat-free milk.
  • Added fruit and nuts to the cereal to make up for the smaller portion. The fruit provides extra vitamins and phytochemicals, and the nuts, with their healthy fats, slow the digestion of the meal for a slower rise in blood sugar.

Better Still
Go for All Bran cereal instead of Grape-Nuts Flakes.

These newsletters used to be so easy to read in adobe acrobat. Now you have to keep your email open to get back to the letter to check each link separately. This one article had to be clicked 3 times for different information. I get this for my diabetic mother, and have to dig through it all to find new info to pass on. Now it's so time consuming. Regarding the recipes, they make obvious sense. Reduce the white bread goup, eat less bread, reduce the sugar. Remove the jam+syrup= same,
