My dieting routine is a small lunch and dinner with minimal between meal snacking and a drink in the afternoon. This leaves me quite hungry and uncomfortable in the morning, so I started drinking "golden milk" as follows:
Warm 1 mug if milk in saucepan. Add:
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ginger
pinch of cinnamon (easy does it)
pinch of black pepper (easy does it)
Wisk contents and bring up to a simmer. When it becomes fragrant like a cow, say around 4 min. of heating, remove from heat and add 1 tsp of honey.

While waiting for the milk, I take a heaping 1/2 tsp of fenugreek, add a drop of honey, and stir it into about 3 tbs of yogurt. Properly mixed, it is good and I eat it before drinking the milk.
This is a yummy and satisfying breakfast. Milk and honey have low glycemic indices. Fenugreek allows the body to absorb the turmeric.
