Eggs are a great way to start the day. They provide more essential nutrients than any other food commonly consumed by humans, and their glycemic load is zero. Learn how to make an omelet, and you can add other low glycemic ingredients such as cheese, meats, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes without fear or raising your blood sugar or insulin levels.

If you think you don't have time to fix an omelet for breakfast do what they do in Paris. Whip a couple eggs in a bowl, add a splash of milk and stick it in the microwave for 3 minutes and 15 seconds at 40 percent heat. Brush a little butter on top. Add salt and pepper and enjoy. You can do it in less than 5 minutes.
