Uncle Sam's is much lower in sugar than KGL, so you might try that. Or steel cut or old fashioned oatmeal, although some have problems with oats in that regard too. Also, did you still have some protein, good fats and veggies in there? It's important to keep the fat and protein in there to help minimize the GI impact, and the veggies provide some extra volume so you aren't tempted to go overboard on the morning grains. When we started in P2 we often mixed Uncle Sam's with the KGL to lower the overall sugar content and even in P3 I tend to make a one egg omelette (egg beater) with black beans, peppers and lf cheese to have along with my morning grains. With oatmeal I make sure to add a teaspoon of smart balance and some walnuts for the extra good fats too. Sometimes it's about finding the right combination as well. |
