Any advice or comments?
People need to remeber that there is a difference between refined carbs and complex carbs (fruits and veggies). Perhaps she should have implored you to eat more complex grains and add some protein and a bit of fat to your breakfast.

I adore cereal, but hardly eat it now. Breakfast is cottage cheese, a whole bunch of fruit (usually watermelon, grapes, and few raspberries, blueberries) and a bit tablespoon of natural PB. It fills me up and I am not tired. Sometimes I will have oatmeal and about once a month, I have a big bowl of whatever cereal I fancy. But afterward, I notice I never feel that great, so even that will change.

My MIL, a fine devotee of all things refined, even though her weight is fine for her height has developed high blood sugars. She was told to cut out the refined/white stuff. There's a lesson there somewhere.
