getting off caffein will help your blood sugar level out. I wrote about my cafffein withdrawl in the addictions section. It was a toug 4 days, but my sugar is much more stable.
That also makes drinking more water easier, since I still get thirsty!

Nuts come back soon enough, they are high in mold and you might have an allergy to them, that's why you want to cut them out for a while.

and breading, well, use soy flour of flax seed instead.
Or parm cheese as a breading. (please don't say you are buying them pre-breaded..... all you get is breading. there is no food there!)
