He describes the research, and it hit home when I heard him discuss the symptoms

...  they are exactly my symptoms.

Breakfast Variety 1

Q: “What do you do when you get bored with the usual breakfast things – eggs, bacon, even a sugar-flour-free pancake or muffins?”

A: Have you tried turkey sausage?  The health food stores and specialty markets have some VERY interesting varieties.

How about cinnamon and artificial sweetener in a ½ c of ricotta cheese spread on a slice of Ezekiel toast for a cinnamon Danish?  Try different flavorings in the ricotta for variety.
