I’m a mostly “Paleo” foods kind of guy.
I still enjoy my Icelandic yogurt, cheese, and the occasional pizza slice.
But mostly animals, vegetables, fruits, tubers, nuts & seeds.
If all of those are bad for you, I want to die...
Sardines and almonds for lunch.
After that start each day, you can eat pretty much whatever you want for dinner!
Same yogurt, but I’ll trade sardines for cooked salmon.
We have a very similar plan.
I forgot to include chocolate.
Eggs make zero contribution towards diabetesActually, quite the opposite: eggs assist insulin production.
I stand on my statement. It is absolutely irrelevant if eggs assist in physical production of insulin. I suspect any protein would do the same. So what?
Insulin will not be released in the blood stream until blood sugars are too high.
I read that soft boiled eggs were better than hard boiled. Did the researchers consider how the eggs were cooked?
Bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast - breakfast of champions. Been eating that nearly my entire life, except for an interruption during my USMC tour.
God bless chickens, Idaho spuds, pig farmers and San Francisco sour dough. I am in your debt.
I am with you brother..
I mix the yogurt with oatmeal but prefer eggs, hashbrowns, bacon toast and tapatio.
It just aint as portable.
Olive oil, huh? Will give it a go. Diabetes is an awful disease, and I don’t want it. But I eat eggs, bacon, sausage...
Here is a bit more information:

Watermelon has the compound olive oil and balsamic vinegar has, too, apparently.
Before my paleo eating ways, I used to have the sardines with hard crackers and that might be the way for novices to start out. After a while, you learn to appreciate the sardines all by themselves.
I get (fresh) salmon often but it can also be good out of a can. Rubenstein's has a decent price for canned red wild salmon from Alaska.
Actually it was the USMC that introduced me to bacon and eggs for breakfast. When I was growing up, my mom basically poured milk into breakfast cereal. Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes, Frankenberry, Raisin Bran, Lucky Charms - whatever was on sale at the supermarket. Was pitched to moms as a "healthy" breakfast for kids. After all, despite the fact it was 90% sugar, it was "fortified" with vitamins!
When there wasn't cold cereal, there was Pop-tarts. Don't get me started. My entire childhood was a nutritional nightmare because my mom listened to the conventional wisdom of the "experts." I somehow survived however.
