Breakfast-- the most important meal of the day

or so they say anyway.

What's on everyone's plate for today? My microwave just beeped. I am having a denver style lean cuisine breakfast panini with some added miracle whip. It's bland without it. Adds calories I know but I am a growing beeper girl. I am also having a cold mocha frappuchino and maybe some oj with my meds.

What's everyone else having or had?

Scrambled eggs with sharp cheddar, and water.

I am on a very low carb diet. 20 grams of carbs a day.

Chanel Whole grains are good for you and lean cuisine meals are tasty at least some of them are. The panini is the only meal I add anything to. I really like smart ones three cheese ziti you should try it it is very low calorie and whole grain and very good for you!

I am on a doctor (and nutritionist) supervised diet at the moment, so no whole grains for right now. This is not long term. :-) I have lost over 40lbs total.

Also interestingly enough on low carb I do not need to take anything for my diabetes.. normally I have to take diabetes medicine. On low carb I do not need any medicine as my sugars stay perfect. Also with low carb you do not feel hungry - I dunno why that is, but it just is the way it is?

(not advocating everyone be on a 20gram of carb a day diet though)

I only get hungry about twice a day. I am overweight but I don't binge eat sweets like I used to and knock on wood my sugar is perfect

When I was depressed the only thing that really helped was brownies. Now that I take topamax sweets disgust me and I can no longer tolerate them they are too sweet.

I'm actually extremely broke right now and I can't afford a lot of good food.. So I'm having fishsticks for breakfast. :3 I know fish is supposed to help with controlling mood swings and such.

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
