Guest guest Report post Posted January 15, 2007 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 ---- Jack Allen 01/14/07 10:41:10 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 15, 2007 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?

Guest guest Report post Posted January 15, 2007 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. - " Guru K " <greatyoga Monday, January 15, 2007 6:06 PM Re: My Situation > Jack, > > I was responding to someone else who mentioned the junk Cheerios had > in them.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Jack 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 GB , " Jack Allen " <tippy1 wrote: > > The idea is to keep your blood sugar level.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 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. http://milonee.net/bengali_recipes/bitter-melon/bittermelon.html GB , " Jack Allen " <tippy1 wrote: > > The idea is to keep your blood sugar level.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 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. Vikki , " Jack Allen " <tippy1 wrote: > > Now I've got a request and it's not going to be easy to do.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Im glad im not the only one who has soups for breakfast I want to experiment with varius vegstables and blend them in a blender and cook them. Any ideas on making it creamy? Does soy milk work well as im lactos intollerent. Chantelle (ps i may occasionaly sign as CF, thats just the siggy i use on another group) -- " Reality leaves a lot to the imagination. " - John Lennon Faith, no matter what we believe in is an important motivator in life. There are reasons why something is the way it is, though we dont always know why. Problems are never a way to punish us, sometimes they are a way of making us better and stronger, more compasionate and knowlegable people inside. We may worry, we may feel down on the world but we must always remember that faith is what brings us together and that God, no matter what we call him or her has not punnished us, only trusted us with an extra special gift. ~ Me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 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. Gayle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 16, 2007 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. M.A. Mary Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
