Q: What to Eat For Breakfast without crashing

I have had a lot of trouble figuring out what is the best plan for eating in the morning. I have tried everything and no matter what I crash at about 10:30am. I usually wake up about 7:30-8:00 and eat either 2 eggs scrambled with cheese and sprouted grain toast or oatmeal with nuts/raisins and milk. Sometimes I have grapefruit juice and maybe decaf coffee.

What do you recommend to eat? Should I be eating something immediately when I wake and then wait to eat more? It seems like no matter what I do I crash and I know this is the most important meal because it sets the tone fo the day....

Too much there, especially the juice. Cut the juice with equal water if you want to try it. Better to juice your own. NO raisins. They actually add sugar to a lot of them, but you should avoid dried fruits right now anyway. Milk is usually not a good idea, but if you feel it's okay go ahead. NO coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you get my email before with my number for when you needed advice on what to eat and such? You never responded. PLEASE keep in mind that you cannot expect to feel better yet, expect to get crashes in the morning for quite awhile.

Can someone post a good example of a healthy breakfast for a hypoglycemic person?

1-3 eggs, fried in non-fat canola spray oil or healthy oil (coconut or omega-3 organic butter). 1 slice of Ezekiel brand bread. A smoothie made out of: one small apple, 1 cup of frozen berries, 1 teaspoon of stevia (raw, not refined), 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup of sheep yogurt (or cow if you can handle it).

I use to eat hard boiled egg whites, throwing away the egg yellows for breakfast and at night. I would have 2 oz glass of milk without additives added every other meal. After about a month in a half, it started making me feel very sick. After that, any dairy foods started making me sick.

Then, I discovered that your very ancestry can have allot to do with tollerating dairy products. My ancestry is that of Native American and most but not all Native American cannot tolerate dairy products for too long in their diet. The doctor and emergency room doctor told me that over the phone recently. I surely wish that I could be able to eat eggs, milk, and cheese but, at last I cannot tolerate them any more. I had high chreserol lately so, I have to throw out anything that can raise it.

Regular eggs should be good for your cholestrol actually because they take pressure off of the liver to produce it. It was actually one of the major things that lowered my bad cholestrol and raised my good. If you can't eat them, that's that, but is it the eggs or the milk? I was a little confused by your post. And if you throw out the yolk, you might as well not eat them because the majority of the nutrional benefit, including enzymes to help digesting it, are in the yolk.

At first I was told that I could not tolerate the milk because, it had hormonal additives in it by the health nurse and other food additives. Then, my son went out and purchaed Range-free cow's milk. It has nothing in it but milk no food preservitives or hormons added.
I was able to tolerate this for about a month then, I got really sick to my stomach after one month's time. Next I found out, I could not tolerate even the white part of the eggs as well. I dearly love the taste of milk but, I get nausea and sick to my stomach after consuming only 2 ozs of milk or less with my meal. I found out after that, that I could no longer tolerate my Italian bubbly water (mineral water containing calcium and very little sodium. Other than that it was clear, clean water.
I have been however sprinkling a pinch of iodized salt over my current diet with ever meall. I was told that keeps your thyroid working.
Egg yolks are very high in chestreol and the white has protein and no chestreol in it.

Yeah, but it's good cholestrol. Hmmm, have you tried eating the eggs without including milk in the mix? Salt is also good for the liver, so that might be a slight problem you're having. It's common for the liver to function at a lower capacity with hypoglycemia. One more thing you could try is RAW milk. You'd have to find a local farm that would sell you a little, and then try that, it may do the trick. If not, unsweetened almond milk is the way to go, it's what I use.

What about cheese and soured forms of milk like yogurt or sour cream? Any trouble with those? Soured forms should be okay, if not, it definitely sounds like an allergy problem and it also sounds like your body may be associating things you ate with the milk reaction and acting a little funny.
