Re: cereal

I eat cereal, but not like I used to. I eat mainly whole 7 grain cooked cereal

now. You need to read the labels and see how many carbs there are--some just are

not worth it for the small amount they consider a serving. Raisin bran is a

good example. 50 plus carbs BEFORE milk! I don't have a problem with my

cooked cereal, but remember everyone is different and I tested ALOT of cereals

before this one.

Hi Sussie,

I eat cereal several mornings a week. I like the steel cut oats, old

fashioned oatmeal. Some mornings, I have the Special K. I do get this in the

low

carb. My favorite is the Kashi Good Friends, but the stores in this area stopped

carrying it for some reason.

likes Kashi Go Lean Crunch. He sprinkles cinnamin on it and eats a

boiled egg too. This works for him and sticks with him for longer than

other cereals.

Read this message the first time too quickly, and thought it was the

egg he put cinammin on, and I thought, gee, we've discussed the

health benefits of cinammin, but on eggs? That's a strange combo.

But then re-read the message and it's the cereal, which makes more

sense!

Hi Cappie, I got a 4.8 once but can't seem to duplicate that, LOL. I am

usually in the mid-5's. Lately it seems that it's harder to get good

numbers. And, like you, I'm trying to lose a little weight. I lost 25

pounds and had kept it off for 4-5 years, but lately I've gained five

of that back. I guess I've been eating more and exercising less. It

doesn't seem as though it would be so hard to lose a measly five

pounds, but I'm having an awful time doing it. I know that if I let

that five pounds stay, pretty soon it'll be another five, and so on. If

you remember, I have bird legs like you, also skinny arms, so all the

weight I gain is around my middle.

I have no excuse for being lax with exercise except old age and

laziness. I'm trying to do better.

I never ever liked to exercise but diabetes made me do it <g>...I find a

good book on tape is a great motivator. My library has a good selection

and I've made a rule that I ONLY listen to the book when I'm exercising.

I'm a daily walker -- mall during the winter, neighborhood walks in

spring/summer/fall. If it's an especially good book, I may walk

longer. I go first thing in the morning before I get into whatever it

is I'm doing that day...if I don't do it first thing in the morning

somehow other things intervene and it just doesn't happen.

My routine: breakfast...get dressed ...check email...leave for mall, do

walk. Listen to book on tape. Then I've gotten the exercise out of the

way for the day...and listened to a good book, besides that.

I stuck to my exercise program pretty well when I did it first thing in

the morning when I got up. But it makes my BG go UP instead of DOWN

when I do it then. Breakfast afterward makes it go up even higher. I

became concerned about that, and decided to change the time I exercise.

I'm still trying to re-train myself to do it later on. As you say,

other things sometimes intervene. Sue

Sue: I once had a 4.3 but that was from loss of blood after my

hysterectomy last March--didn't count!

Yeah -- if I could exercise I'd be able to eat a little more but hey I

am lucky to be walking so whose complaining?
