cereal oats with water, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower.
If there was any doubt Vinny has that brain-altering cat disease...
It stemmed from when I had two episodes in 1985 of intense dizziness after eating.
I think I started with a doctor and the doctor referred me a nutritionist.
I explained what I'd prior eaten to the two episodes (one time was pancakes with, of course, tons of (sugar) syrup) she stated that I'd had hypoglycemic attacks.
I was eating simple carbohydrates. They sent my blood sugar way high but then it came rapidly down so that I was experiencing low blood sugar. Hence the dizzy spells.
She advised that I eat, instead, complex carbohydrates, explaining that when those are eaten, there is a much longer digestive period with glucose continually being released at that time as opposed to the simple carbohydrates unleashing all that glucose at once.
She must have used oatmeal as an example of what to eat. Starting eating it. One thing led to another wherein I kept adding more complex carbohydrates to that breakfast.
I'm saying this all from a 35 years ago memory. Some of it may not be accurate plus I've several times stated here that I'm a number and $$$$ person and a 100% non-medical person.
But after I followed her recommendations I never again had one of those dizzy spells. Correspondingly, a few weeks after the visit with her I gave up buying food to bring into my house with any ingredients that said--sugar, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, maltose, or any other -trose. And, stopped eating while out any food that was overtly sugar like cake or ice cream or similar type sugar food.
