If you do not eat a good breakfast, I guarantee you will eat more than you should at lunch, which will make you sluggish, tired and unproductive for the rest of the day.

"If you eat a breakfast of pancakes made with white flour, you're eating a very high-glycemic-index breakfast. If you combine it with syrup, which is nothing but liquid sugar, you make it even worse. You might eat this breakfast and within 30 minutes, you'll have a blood sugar high because of all of the carbohydrates that are being rapidly converted into sugar in your blood stream. A few hours later—often sometime before noon—your blood sugar crashes, and when it does, you tend to feel a bit tired—maybe even irritable—and definitely hungry." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

Try putting your fork down between bites, and take a drink of water to help you slow down.

"Fruit does not need to be avoided if diabetic, just limited to two fresh fruits with breakfast and one with lunch and dinner. Those with diabetes should exclude fruit juice and not use much dried fruit. Frozen fruit can be a convenient substitute when fresh isn't available. The nutritional value is comparable to fresh, but like vegetables, avoid the canned variety because they are not as nutritious, they often have sweeteners added, and they have already lost most water-soluble nutrients. 4) Beans or Legumes Stock up on dried and canned beans." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

The information was extrapolated from various sources. To feel good on the anti-hypoglycemia diet, your child will simply need to focus on protein-rich, high-fiber foods that are slowly digested, relatively low in carbohydrate calories, and full of nutrients. These foods will provide the sense of satisfaction, or satiety, that helps kids feel good, and behave well." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "Therefore, a hypoglycemic child should not, for example, have a breakfast consisting mostly of just cereal, or a muffin, or a bagel. Furthermore, it's very important to limit grains to whole grains, which are higher in fiber. Processed grains, stripped of fiber, can have an effect similar to that of pure sugar. All vegetables, fruits, and grains have been ranked on a scale called the Glycemic Index, which rates them according to how quickly they are digested, and according to how many carb calories they dump into the system. This rating system should be your guide to avoiding hypoglycemia." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "They'd ask him if he'd prefer waffles for breakfast, or pancakes, and he'd reply, "Purple," if he replied at all. It was just as likely that he would struggle to answer, then freak out, smack everybody within range, and then hibernate into one of his obsessions, such as emptying the refrigerator of condiments, then filling it back up. Emptying, filling, emptying, filling, as Elizabeth watched in dismay. His memory was atrocious, and even though he was approaching his fourth birthday, he couldn't dress himself, and was so unresponsive to his name that they had him tested for deafness." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Smoothies: We love smoothies at my house, and not just for breakfast. We combine organic frozen berries with soymilk, agave, ground flaxseed, and a banana. The results are always delicious. • Tofu "cheese" salad: Cut up organic tofu mozzarella-style, in chunks, and combine with fresh tomatoes and Greek olives. • Pita breadsticks: Cut spelt-bread pita into strips, brush them with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and soy parmesan on top.
