Kind bar or Bagel??

This morning I decided to eat one instead of having a bagel.  It is a choice I make because I have diabetes, and the more carbs I eat, the worse it is for my blood sugar.  It’s really perplexing because I love bagels but when I wake up with high blood sugar, I know that it’s better to start my day with a low-carb meal.

Occasionally, I’ll make a veggie omelet and eat that as my low-carb breakfast.  But, I don’t always feel like spending my pre-work time cooking.  Although yesterday I listened to a Software Engineering Daily Podcast while making an omelet, and that was a good start to the day — feeding both my mind and body.

I often prefer to not cook, and most quick breakfast foods are high in carbs, so a Kind bar is a good choice. Especially a kind bar that’s part of the “Kind Nuts & Spices” series, as they all have 5 grams or less of sugar.

Kind proves that you don’t need a lot of sugar to make something taste really good.  Plus they don’t use any artificial sweetener either which makes me feel better about eating them.  Whenever I have something with artificial sweetener, I usually don’t enjoy the taste much, and I am often wondering if the chemical they use for sweetening is hurting me… I wonder if in 10 or 30 years from now, they’ll discover a negative about it.  Whereas, I am pretty confidant that all of the ingredients in these Kind bars aren’t going to hurt me. Even the ingredients at the bottom of the label sound good.  They’re ingredients that people have been eating for hundreds of years — not some chemical that’s only become popular over the last generation.

That’s all for now.  To happy snacking!
