Low Glycemic Breakfast

According to an article published in Science Daily "Eating foods at breakfast that have a low glycemic index may help prevent a spike in blood sugar throughout the morning and after the next meal of the day".  That's good news and not necessarily new news... since we have always been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  


Although we all know that breakfast is important, many people don't realize that the type of food you eat for breakfast is also important.  While cereal may satisfy that early morning hunger there's a good possibility the type of cereal you are eating is actually having an adverse affect on your energy level and hunger later in the day.


Here's my first recipe ever... to start your morning the Low Glycemic Way!


Egg Salad Sandwich
1 hard boiled egg 
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
1 slice of Trader Joes Low Carbohydrate Pecan Spice Bread.
1 glass of unsweetened Orange Juice.


The egg and the mayonnaise don't have a glycemic index and the low carb bread toasted and unbuttered is a perfect surface for the yummy egg salad.
