I just try not buy any sugar added products (read the ingredients label when doing grocery) and choose those better for me ex: non cage eggs, Greek yogurt, skim milk, almond milk…

Have a simple healthy breakfast meal such as drinking plenty of water and milk. You can have fruits and yoghurt or cereal. Avoid eating desserts in the morning such as chocolate or ice cream.

If you are the type of person who likes to add sugar to items like tea or coffee, try drinking your beverage with just milk instead, or finding a new flavor or roast that is more pleasing to your palate without added sugar. Skip foods like oatmeal that you may be in the habit of sweetening with sugar and try a savory item that’s just as filling, like avocado toast. I read an article on breakfast salads that really blew my mind- maybe this could be your new thing? If you need something sweet, stick to natural sugars from fruit only, whether it’s a basic sliced apple or a yummy smoothie (using water as your base instead of milk).

I dont know. I eat fruits: banana, apple, orange, seeds, walnut, milk. After charity dried almonds too. Mabye dried food and too ripe fruits have more sugar.

I don’t know what country you come from, cause I can guess there’s a lot off differences in food culture in different countries. Collect different recipes of things that look good and feel good and try to slowly go less sugar. And I don’t think you need to skip it fully, just not make the biggest part of you meal full of sugar (like müsli). Today I’m eating a nice Greek yoghurt with almonds and a little bit of honey on top for taste.

Try to eat fruit instead such as an apple or an orange because it’s healthy, you’ll gain energy and not feel gross, and it tastes great!

Eat whole foods like eggs, meat or oatmeal. High protein and high fibre food also make you feel full longer and help stabilize your blood sugar through the day.

I have a way protein shake with frozen berries and ground flax and ground oats was 2% milk and two large spoonfuls of Greek yogurt.

#1 change your morning coffee: swap creamers and milk that have sugar, etc for: cinnamon and/or pumpkin pie spice, homemade golden milk, and/or coconut oil. If you’re craving carb sugars: — try sweet potato toast or multigrain & seeded bread with almond butter, banana, and cacao nibs (a drizzle of honey every once in awhile) — overnight chia oats with nut milk, nut butter, banana, cacao nibs Healthy substitutes are key!

Read read the labels on the box. Try to avoid cereals, but if you like them, go for the ones that don’t have much sugar. For example choosing Cheerios rather than honey nut Cheerios will decrease the amount of sugar. Make your own yogurt so that you can control how much sugar or sweetness Goes into your yogurt. Eke yogurt which is high in protein with a splash of maple syrup some fresh fruit like blueberries would be great. Avoid things like waffles and pancakes because they are just syrup sponges.
