thank you for your kind words and support!
I do realize that it wakes me up - but if I were to have the things I had as a child...like bread with jam, or lots of sugary cereal - I'd feel TERRIBLE no joke, and irritable unless I got MORE sugar in me. Such a vicious cycle.

I am vegetarian, but looking at beans and yogurt as good protein sources for me right now.So if I had a serving of beans, could that be enough for breakfast, if they count as both protein AND carb?

Also...what are your thoughts on the morning coffee...right now I still admit I love my morning mochas...is that terrible, like just fueling the sugar addiction? If I have to get rid of it...can I try to make it 'skinny' the way ppl add sugar-free syrup?

: Hi Kiki,

: So glad you are continuing to work on
: breakfast! You'll find something
: that you like. Have you noticed
: feeling better after breakfast,
: even though you feel a bit blah
: about eating it? I sometimes call
: it my morning coffee...I feel much
: more alert and ready for the day
: after my breakfast!

: Nuts for me are more of a
: condiment...or something to top
: off my other protein. I would have
: to eat a lot of nuts to get the
: protein amount I need. And there's
: a lot of fat in nuts, so again, to
: get the amount of protein I would
: need, I'd be eating a lot more fat
: than my poor stomach would want to
: handle. You did a great job
: noticing the protein / carb combo
: of nuts...interesting, isn't it.
: Did you check to see how much
: protein there is in coconut meat?

: For beans, they count as either a
: carb or protein. Are you looking
: for vegetarian options?

: Potatoes and sweet potatoes are a
: great complex carb for breakfast!
