    I don't know if it's a low GI food but I eat oatmeal everyday for breakfast. (Kashi Go Lean All Natural Creamy Oatmeal). I often add blueberries or raspberries and a teaspoon of flaxseed oil. This keeps me feeling very satisfied until lunch. It was also a recommened breakfast in the Dr. Oz book on Oprah if you happen to know of him.

  • This is the actual website for the Glycemic Index.
    Its a university research model, NOT a fad diet. It recommended for diabetics because the carbohydrates burn slowly through the body, thus keeping you full longer by regulating your blood sugar level more efficiently.
