There's a hungry kind of feelin'
And every day it grows
There's so much more of you
Than anybody knows
In the ADA, we eat more sugar before 9:00 am than some people eat all day.*
Eat all the carbs we say
'Cause we need you in the ADA.**
In the American Diabetes Association, you'll be eating pancakes, fruit smoothies, oatmeal, cereal, peanut butter, toast, vegetable juice, eggs, and lean Canadian bacon for breakfast--and you'll be eating again before lunch! (I can tell you from long experience that the protein won't quell hunger from falling blood sugar.)
Just look at all the sugar you'll get to eat:
Three pancakes from Hardee's: 12g sugar (53g net carb)
Banana berry 16-size smoothie from Jamba Juice: 73g sugar (80g net carb)
One packet of prepared Quaker instant oats, apple & cinnamon: 12g sugar (23g net carb)
Two tablespoons of smooth peanut butter on a slice of toasted wheat bread: 5g sugar (16g net carb)
One cup of V-8 vegetable juice: 8g sugar (8g net carb)
One cup Kellogg's Raisin Bran cereal: 18g sugar (39g net carb)
One cup 2% milk: 13g sugar (14g net carb)
Eggs & Canadian bacon: no sugar (1g net carb in two eggs)
That's not all: the net carbs include all the digestible carbs--it's all going to turn into sugar when you digest it. A cup of healthy Raisin Bran cereal with 2% milk and a V-8 means 61 grams--or almost one-third of a cup--of sugar.

*A typical low-carb diet is less than 50 grams ofsugar carbohydrates a day.
**To the tune of the Army recruiting jingle from 1981.
