What's for Breakfast? (long)

[Kalidurga]

That's funny. I'm in my 40's and my cardiologist told me no rice, bread, or potatoes in the evening, that eating carbs late in the day is a sure-fire way to gain weight because it's too close to bedtime to burn them off.

I'm to the point that I take anything most doctors say with a huge, heaping pile of grains of salt.

Yeah, I don't believe that either. You don't burn off calories within hours of eating them.

My trainer is also a nutritionist. She wants me eating whole grains for breakfast and lunch and very few carbs at dinner. I've been following her plan pretty well and I've lost six pounds and 3.5% body fat in about 6 weeks.

I wrote about what I eat for all my meals in my blog.

timing plays a big role in a Sumo Wrestler's weight gain.

I eat eggs and toast a few times a week, and simple cereal, like oatmeal the other days. For cold cereal, I like Cascadian Farms brand of multigrain squares, which has 4 grams of sugar per serving. I'm really careful about consuming sugar in the morning. I notice it will make me hungry all day.

Surgtech, it sounds as if your doctor is not giving the most complete info. I tend to agree with what the others have been advised ..avoiding bad carbs and sugars in the evening.

To control any tendencies of becoming diabetes 2, even though I'm not overweight, I must control the amount of carbs and sugars. Plus maintain or increase the amount of regular exercise. This is from my family doctor...AND from my sister, who is a family doctor. 2 physician opinions, ok?

My doctor-sister LOST 50 lbs. after she changed her diet and ramped up her exercising due to her near-diabetes 2 sugar blood test results She was overweight. She avoids eating much rice, carbs..and if she eats them, in morning or for lunch.

Dear sister recommended me this database on identifying foods with safe glycemic index: http://www.glycemicindex.com/

I have noticed for myself in the past 1.5 yrs., if I eat too carb or too much sugar at supper, I don't feel well.
I am 50 yrs. The sister who lost weight, she was 38 when she lost all that.
