Help I can't seem to find a solution to bring my numbers down after breakfast. I have tried to eat a variety of foods but am always pulling 10's or higher. Do you have any suggestions?

Exercise; 30 minute walk after breakfast.

Thanks for posting this. It has inspired me to try and do my walking before I take my shower in the mornings before work.

About a cup in the morning and my BG only jumps 8 to 10 points!

Mango, Coconut and Quinoa Breakfast Pudding
James Rohrbacher on Dr. Fuhrman site

Serves: 5
Preparation Time:

Ingredients:
3/4 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water
4 dates, pitted
1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mango or 2 fresh mangoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's Mangosteen Fruit Vinegar or other fruit-flavored vinegar
1/8 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/8 cup black sesame seeds or regular sesame seeds
1 cup packed chopped kale
1 cup packed chopped spinach
1/2 cup dried currants
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Rinse quinoa and drain in a fine-mesh sieve.

In a large saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until grains are translucent and the mixture is the consistency of a thick porridge, about 20 minutes.

In a high-powered blender, blend dates, non dairy milk, vanilla, cinnamon, half the mangoes and mangosteen vinegar.

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, blended date mixture, nuts, seeds, kale, spinach, the remaining diced mango and the currants. Pour into a lightly oiled baking pan, (9" X 9" works well) sprinkle with coconut and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Best made a day ahead and refrigerated.

Cheesy Sausage Balls

1 cup Bisquick baking mix
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 package Jimmy Dean Hot Pork sausage (or equivalent)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 8oz brick cream cheese (at room temp)

Heat oven to 375F. Combine Bisquick and whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix remaining ingredients in large bowl. Combine well. The mix may seem a little dry, but that's okay, the sausage will fix that while it bakes.
Roll mixture into little balls about 3/4" in diameter. Don't make them too large!
Place balls evenly spaced on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Enjoy! These also reheat well in the microwave.

I find the whole wheat flour provides plenty of fiber to reduce the carb count somewhat. These can be addictive, so try to eat fewer than 6 at a meal. They are quite filling, and oh so tasty!

Try to drink a cup of water with lemon, every morning. This will wake up your body quicklier.

I’m not sure I agree with this. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I'll be making a bookmark of this post.

The carb count should be easy enough to calculate.

1 cup Bisquick baking mix ~ 52 carbs
2 cups whole wheat flour ~ 174 carbs
1 tbsp baking powder ~ 0 carbs
1 package Jimmy Dean Hot Pork sausage (or equivalent) ~ 4 carbs
2 cups grated cheddar cheese ~ 3 carbs
1 8oz brick cream cheese (at room temp) ~ 15 carbs

Total carbs for the whole batch ~ 248 carbs

Any white flour or bisquit will bring numbers up... Stick with proteins for breakfast... Crazy recipes for anyone keeping there bs down....
