Egg crazy!

[sexyanuf]

I new to this board and started the diet 3 days ago, I so far so good. However the problem I am having is with breakfast and all those damn eggs. I normally would eat cereal, toast ,juice, fruit, etc. not all once but in some combination. I ate eggs two times if that a week and now on the diet it appears that eggs are my only option. Any advice on how to cope with the breakfast issue or lack thereof? Im hungry up until lunch?

Welcome to ADBB!

There is no need to eat eggs for breakfast and it also depends how you cook those eggs. You can make a quiche with veggies and have some of that for breakfast, for example. Anyway, any food from the acceptable foods list is a good breakfast food, for e.g. leftovers from the day before, soup, a salad with some protein and fat in it, Revolution Rolls...

If you are hungry, have a snack between breakfast and lunch. It's also not uncommon to feel a bit more hungry during the first few days, until ketosis kicks in.

Re: Egg crazy!

Thanks so much for the advise I guess I was just think typical breakfast stuff instead of mixing stuff up on the list. Does starting this diet make you have afeeling of being a little off, unsettled or slight dizzy? I feel tired and off, somthing I cant put my finger on outside of hungry but not in a emergent kind of way.

Re: Egg crazy!

There are many ways to eat eggs so don't totally come down on them - experiment a bit. I like to make nice scrambles where I can throw other things into and it is lovely. I like them with cheese and mushrooms or with smoked salmon but there are so much you can do. There is also egg creams that is a nice alternative for breakfast.
Here is a thread we have on in

But as G says. It has to be savory - those carbs have to go but it does not have to be eggs. Now that I am on OWL I actually do not eat eggs that often anymore.

Good luck. Hang in there. When those pounds start coming off - it will all taste so much better. (Nothing taste as good as thin feels )

It does. This is called the induction flue - it will be over very soon. Just the transition phase to ketosis burning. You're almost there!!!! Good job

Re: Egg crazy!

I make a mock danish for breakfast that you won't believe has eggs in it....it is wonderful -- try it!!

Mock Danish
one serving

2 oz cream cheese (2)
1 large egg, beaten(0.6)
1 packet Splenda(1)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract(0.3)

Put cream cheese in a small, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until softened. Remove from microwave. Stir in the egg, Splenda and vanilla extract into the cream cheese. Put back into microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes.

Total carbs: 3.9 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Net carbs: 3.9 grams
Cheese allowance: 2
Sweetener allowance: 1

*Note: Cream cheeses vary in carb count. So be sure to check your packages. Also note that some people add a tablespoon of fiber supplement to their Mock Danish to give it a more "bready" (sturdy) texture. If you do this, you MUST include the the fiber supplement carbs.

Also here is a link to the recipe sites so you can vary what you eat and won't be
bored! Good luck to you.
