LOW GL advice please

[BambinoBoo]

Good morning all.

I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver and gallstones which is my own stupid fault as I have been carrying between 1 and 3 extra stone for the past 10 years! I am currently 2 stone overweight, having lost a stone since last July (but even that fluctuates). I seriously need to get fit and the low GL appears to come highly recommended as a new way of life rather than another diet. I've ordered a couple of books to get me started, but until they arrive, I have been checking out info online. I would be really grateful if anyone could give me some options for a fast low GL breakfast. My toddler is a demon before 0730 and at a very clingy stage so I need something I can prepare quickly and eat with him. Are there any shop-bought cereals that are ok to have? Or some kind of toast - although I know you can't have butter. I?ve googled and it mostly shows American stuff or recipes that involve lots of chopping, which I don't have the time for during the week.

Oh, also, really stupid question. I hate yogurt from the fridge but love it frozen. Can you freeze shop-bought yoghurt? I?m assuming low fat yogurt is low GL

Many thanks.

Soy and linseed bread is low GI, you can get it in most big supermarkets. The two brands I've come across are Burgen and Vogels (of the two I think the Burgen is the nicer one). Have it with some scrambled eggs and some mushrooms fried in a little spray oil - chopped mushrooms keep perfectly well in a plastic box in the fridge overnight.
If that's too much with the toddler then look for no added sugar muesli but avoid the ones with lots of dried fruit in it. If you have a Holland and Barrett close by then you can get really nice muesli base there which is lovely with some fresh fruit and a spoonful of seeds on top. I think it's really nice with some defrosted frozen berries e.g. tescos summer fruit mix - you can portion it out into bowls the night before and leave it to defrost in the fridge then all you have to do is add the muesli base (rolled oats are also good), seeds and milk.
I make frozen yoghurt by cutting some fruit into small bits and freezing it. Then I mix it with some natural yoghurt and vanilla essence/cinnamon and blend it with a hand blender (I have a £5 asda smart price hand blender just for this). You can also do it in the food processor but I did manage to kill one after making it almost every day for about six months.

Lizi's granola is good

eggs, natural yoghurt, soya/linseed bread, low GL muesli. Berries are best fruit.
