My Situation

Recommended Posts

I know I'm new and don't really qualify as a true vegetarian, but I usually

eat higher protein than cereal for breakfast. My favorite breakfast is

1/2 c no fat cottage cheese

Small sliced tomatoes, green peppers, what ever fresh veggies I might have

for salads. I also use mushrooms when I have them.

Then either a whole wheat bagel half or whole wheatberry toast

 

I don't care for those other things you don't like as well :)

 

Good luck to you

Marcia

My Situation

 

Now I've got a request and it's not going to be easy to do. I am a guy who

is about 120 pounds overweight. I've had 5 heart bypasses and I'm on my

second pacemaker/defibrillator. I am diabetic. I just had my second

cardio-version last week.

Now comes my question, what do I eat for breakfast? Keep in mind that I'm a

long way from any specialty store and restricted on sodium, fat, carbs, and

the biggy SOY. Soy interferes with my coumadin. I really don't like

pancakes, waffles or French toast. What does that leave? I sure could use

some ideas.

Black pepper is also quite good on strawberries.

Jack,

 

I was responding to someone else who mentioned the junk Cheerios had

in them. Regarding my suggestion of garlic toast. Do you mean you

can't have any grains? Garlic toast is synergistic. The sum is

exponentially greater than the individual ingredients. The ghee helps

keep the blood sugar stable. The garlic helps stimulate the glands to

help weight control. Garlic also helps the heart and circulation.

This is a different model than the standard AMA model. It has no

sugar in it. What do you eat now? What foods do the docs say you can

eat? Is their diet the same diet that you were doing before? Does it

help? Do you notice any difference when you are on the diet you are

on now?

The idea is to keep your blood sugar level. Try not to have any spikes.

When you say toast, I take it you mean some sort of bread made with some

sort of grain flour. This equates to starch and therefore sugar. I make my

own bread (fasccia made with flax seed meal). Not good for toasting. I was

eating a lot of soy products but I can't do that now because it creates

turmoil with my coumadin. I really don't want meat. I try to eat things

from the glycemic index. Salads play a big part in my life. I also use to

eat Scrambler for breakfast but since they contain a soy product that lets

them out. I absolutely loved cabbage. But it interferes with the coumadin.

I can eat pasta (Dreamfields) once in a while and really love the eggplant

parmesan. No juices due to sugar, but I drink Hood's Low Carb Dairy drink

(now called low calorie). I did see once suggestion for breakfast (my main

problem) and that was fat free cottage cheese. That will get me a start in

the morning. I try my best to keep blood glucose close to someone who

doesn't have diabetes. I use the figures presented by the Joslin Diabetes

Institute.

If you have pasta once in awhile, I think that toast (or even bread

not toasted) would much less affect the panc. What I am trying to say

is that with garlic changes the whole situation. Garlic has helped

heal some people with diabetes. Like I said before, toast(bread),

ghee and garlic is synergistic and acts much different than when taken

separately. If you don't want ot do that, have 5 mashed cloves of

garlic on c. cheese in the morning. FOr your situation, it is

probably better taken raw. Hopefully, you have people around you that

don't mind the smell of garlic.

 

Just a thought

Jack,

 

One of the best foods for diabetes and heart is bitter melon. It is

also one of the least tastiest. However, most of the tastiest foods

are ones that diabetics should not have. Drugs can either lower or

raise the blood sugar depending on the drug but no drug can actually

help rebuild organs (i.e.pancreas). Some foods can do that depending

on the person and depending on the food. Here is a site with bitter

melon recipes.

Not sure if you are interested. I'm not a waffle, french toast or

cereal person. What I have for breakfast, or lunch or anytime I want

is a bowl of homemade split pea soup. It's my treat and I can tell my

body likes it. I start with vegetarian " chicken " or vegetable broth, usually 2

cans,

and load in, garlic, onion and grated carrots. After it comes to a

boil, I will add the split peas, turning my heat down to low. I like

spicy foods, so I'll add a can of spicy tomatoes, if I can find low

sodium. Otherwise I add the low sodium tomatoes and add ground red

pepper. Hope it helps.

You can use a little bit of soy milk.

 

I also use frozen cauliflower in my potato corn chowder, after it is heated

thru I put some in the blender with some of the broth.

soft or silken tofu will do the trick, too.

Thank you so much. I just got back from the hospital so I'm going to rest

awhile and then I will take a look at the sites.

Sure soy milk (not vanilla)

will work, but a good blender will do a nice job making part of the mixture

creamy. My sister has a Vitamix and it is a great soup blender.

I am happy to report that Scramblers has no soy in them. So that's a good

start.
