I just don't like being made fun of, especially if it works for me, many people from different cultures eat differently, and people that do not respond to this list but reads this list, maybe of them. People of Egyptian Descent or other cultures eat beans, and different herbs in the morning.
Not very nice.
The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

Now that is an excellet clue............Let's try it. Green beans, green
spinach, peas, broccoli, lettuce, avocado. The body does not know how to
read the clock but what ever it needs then morning time is the time that it
is lowest and needs to be replenished. Green in the morning. PLEASE REMIND
me!

since I started eating a green vegetable in the morning, I am not run down,
I
aven't had a cold in 2 years, and my morning sugars stabilize by lunch time,

To eat there own, and no one should make fun of what other people eat.

Oh Tom,
I had more laughs yesterday reading what folks eat, especially Cheryl.
All in fun, and it doesn't take much for me to start laughing.
I'm working hard getting over a cold.
Even a cold will raise the sugar numbers.
I just go along with it, knowing I'm not doing anything out of line to
get it to go up.
The numbers.
Hang in there, I'm sure you are doing well, and if you are not sure,
ask, if we can help this is what the list is all about.
