 You can get somewhat similar benefits by eating a low-glycemic sugar-free cereal, such as oatmeal (so long as it is not instant oatmeal and does not contain any sugars). Still, our first choice would be eggs.
Essential Daily Habit #2. Eat at Regular Times
Pressures at work and home, and being short of time in general, can sabotage your best intentions to eat well. When you feel stressed, your good eating habits are usually the first thing to slide—you delay or skip meals, or succumb to sweets and fast foods. That's when your blood sugar sinks, then rockets too high, and then sinks again. |

 These might include a bowl of oatmeal with extra oat bran, a fresh apple (which contains plenty of fiber), whole grains that are well-chewed, or fiber supplements such as glucomannan. You might also add cinnamon to your oatmeal or breakfast cereal, since cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and effectively lowers the glycemic index of anything you eat during the same meal.
However, it should be noted that pomegranate sugars are somewhat unique in that they do not spike blood sugar levels as easily as other fruit sugars. |

 Oatmeal is essentially good for you, although instant oats and all the sugars found in many oatmeal products make it a rather high-glycemic food that's not recommended for most people (especially diabetics or obese people).
Put it all together and you have a collection of some of the least healthy foods and beverages on the market today. When future historians examine today's epidemics of obesity and diabetes, they will no doubt scrutinize the role of companies like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, both of which are partly to blame for modern disease epidemics. |

"I can have whatever I want," said Marge. "There isn't anything you can eat that can't be made out of something healthy. My daughter just sent me some waffles made out of soy and garbanzo beans. Mostly I just eat the oatmeal in the morning, and then make up a nice raw fruit and vegetable salad for later in the day."
After breakfast, Marge came back to her room to reflect on the Lord and His blessings. Then she did her exercises. |

| Most people prefer some sweetness in their oatmeal. But the amount in all those fun-flavored packets is more than is needed, that's for sure. How do I know? I've sampled the new less-sugar options, and they taste great! Quaker Instant oatmeal offers Apples & Cinnamon or Maple & Brown Sugar with less sugar, plus my personal favorite-Take Heart Blueberry.

 It is most often powdered before consumption, after which it can be eaten as a gruel, like oatmeal, that can be flavored with cinnamon, raisins, honey, and so on. Slippery elm is very easy to digest, and so it is especially beneficial for people who can't keep any other food down, such as those recovering from illness or undergoing chemotherapy. It can help nourish those who are wasting away, failing to thrive, and losing weight. It can be added to baby food as a nutritive and to nourish recently weaned infants or those who can't digest milk. |

 Although you can buy cinnamon in capsules, it is far less expensive to purchase the ground spice and sprinkle it on oatmeal or fruit, such as apples, cantaloupe, or berries. Take 1 to 6 grams daily. One gram of cinnamon is about one-quarter teaspoon of the spice, so 4 grams would equal 1 tea-spoonful.
Ginseng. Several studies have found that American ginseng {Panax quinquefolius) can lower glucose levels in both diabetics and nondia-betic subjects by 20 to 38 percent. Dosages in these studies have ranged from 1 to 3 grams daily, with higher dosages having a greater benefit.

| Both diets provided about 1,500 calories a day, but the low-GL group ate more fat and superior carbs, consuming, for instance, steel-cut oats instead of instant oatmeal, blueberries instead of raisins, and cracked-wheat bread instead of tortilla chips. The 39 subjects who remained in the study lost about 10 percent of their body weight, but the low-GL dieters had smaller decreases in their resting energy expenditure than the low-fat dieters—meaning their metabolism didn't slow as much. They also reported less hunger.

 HERBALISM
Oats or oatmeal: A cup of oats can be added to bath water to provide a coating and soothing effect. Small patches of particularly dry skin may respond well to an oat poultice or "mash" (see p. 78).
Demulcents: The most useful plants for dry skin are lubricating, soothing plants, such as the demulcents. Common demulcents include aloe vera, slippery elm bark, marshmallow root, fenugreek, chickweed, and comfrey leaves or roots. Decoctions of these plants can be used as skin washes. Each plant will behave differently in hot water. |

| Beans, raspberries, pure bran, oatmeal, prunes, avocado, raisins, and most green vegetables, for example, are high-fiber foods that cause less of a rise in blood sugar than foods like potatoes, or than almost any wheat-based food. And eating a high-fiber diet may also help with weight loss. High-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, giving your body extra time to register the fact that you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely to overeat. A high-fiber diet also tends to fill you up longer. |

| It is a well-known fact that oatmeal bread —hyped as a healthy choice — contains only minimal amount of oat flour when compared to the wheat flour content. Less obvious, though, is that many staples such as bread, milk, and pastas have been supplemented with vitamins. Doesn't it make you wonder what has gone wrong in the growing, harvesting, and production of our foodstuffs that our government permits/requires supplementation? More remarkable, though, is that these added supplements are of little value in the overall nutritional picture. |
