A Low GI breakfast is the best start to your day.

Are you looking to lower your glycemic index (GI) levels?

A diabetic looking to hit below that magic number on your blood glucose score?

Then consider low glycemic index (low GI) breakfast ideas are easy with little change in routine and without having to eat boring, tasteless foods. There are no pills, supplements, or protein shakes to buy. It is all part of a healthy and good for you low GI diet.
A low GI diet can increase your energy and fill you up throughout the day. This can help with weight loss and mood swings. In the long run a low glycemic index diet can prevent the spread of blood sugar related complications, even heart attack and stroke if combined with many other healthy choices.
Many people have their own breakfast ideas that are unhealthy for them. Sugar laden breakfast bars may fill you with short-lived energy but they do not really fill you up. The problem is that high GI foods break down very quickly and release carbohydrates in such large amounts, that they are gone before you know it. You are left with a rumbling tummy and a crash after all that energy goes away. The good news is that with a little research and a little determination to get and stay healthy, you can invent some pretty awesome breakfast ideas that are delicious and good for you.
Natural fruits and whole grains contain low glycemic index levels and make wonderful breakfast ideas. Try a natural organic jelly with no sugar added on your whole wheat toast or consider some natural low fat cream cheese on toast with a side of organic, sugarless apple sauce. Whole grain pancakes with honey or natural maple syrup still taste great and don’t leave you feeling as bloated or yucky as all the processed sugar and chemicals as standard store bought syrup does. You can even make your own maple syrup or buy home harvested from the local farmers.
All bran muffins are a great breakfast idea and can include a wide variety of fruit. Popular blueberry muffins traditionally have a lot of calories and a high glycemic index. However, made with all bran and natural fruits, they are tasty and carry a quarter of the calorie count. You can always apply a dab of low calorie cool whip to the top of the muffin to top it off. Another great breakfast idea is low fat plain yogurt with granola or bran buds, these can also be mixed with fresh or free dried natural fruits like strawberries.
Eggs have a low GI count, just make sure you buy organic and cage-free eggs as the hens in commercial hen houses are often sickly and pumped full of chemicals to mass produce as many eggs as possible. This is bad for the chicken and you, so support your local farmer who offers his chickens room and does not force shots on them to produce more eggs than is recommended. For great breakfast ideas that include eggs, try a western omelette’s with rye toast or scrambled eggs and imitation bacon.
So why not try some of these great ideas for a lower glycemic index diet?
