Jeysie, I would not do the Slim-Fast route. I did it for a little while and then it started doing weird things to my blood sugar (btw, I'm not hypo/er glocemic). I would drink it and then within an hour be sick to my stomach. (And I do know it was the blood sugar causing this, not some weird allergic reaction or something). I would probably suggest eggs and bacon for breakfast. I know you don't like cold cuts, but maybe some type of ham and cheese sandwich (two or three if that's what it takes to get through the day), and some type of high protein thing for supper.
NO, I am not talking about the Atkins diet!! Let's get that straight now...but those who have problems with blood sugar need to reduce their carb intake. Now, I will claim that I'm not a professional, but I am giving advice that I've picked up at my job. Jeysie, what I would just suggest is go into a GNC (b/c they do know what they're talking about, but if you have questions, refer back to me...a couple of people I work with work out and my bro used to work at GNC, so I have SEVERAL reliable sources should I be stumped). Ask the sales person about high protein drinks and bars, what they suggest. Like I said, if you want, refer back to me, especially before you buy, if you want anything clarified--and remember, most health food stores work on commission!
Ok...way too long...I'll stop now!
The BAD: way too slow at work!
