Bethie, I have had a different experience. My doc (a young woman) was all for it. Especially happy she was when I dropped 20 lbs immediately ("carb bloat") and my LDL and lipids #s improved. My doc sez "being thinner is better for the health, and it's being proved (more& more now, since the article titled The Big Fat Lie in last July's New York Times Magazine) that carbs, creating hyperinsulinemia is the biggest cause of syndrome X "(high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, obesity)
That bacon and stuff are bad for us has all been....a"big, fat lie"! At least, without carbs to call up insulin, proteins and fats and non-starchy veggies are not stored as fat.(Of course we can't eat bacon with toast!But I'd rather have(mmmmm) the bacon!)And I'm SO loving having no carb cravings or feelings of denial, for the first time in ages!
Breakfast today-scrambled eggs and salsa, tea.
And for tomorrow? I just bought a cryopac of Copper River salmon--smoked! Put THAT in my omelet!
Bethie--you should consider joining us Atkins types.Or ,more like Protien Power, actually.I know you'll be happy. And someone like you, who isn't fat anyway, will prosper on this!Should I send you informative links?
Breakfast during the week is fresh orange juice, muesli with cold milk, slice of bread with jam or honey, café au lait.
Weekends we add an egg and croissants and the newspaper.
Yesterday our American houseguest cooked breakfast or better Brunch for us.
Pancakes and Maple syrop, Popovers, eggs and bacon in any style, omelett, small steaks.
A cheese-burger and several cups of coffee -- i'll let ya know
mmm.. Coffee and a blueberry muffin..
peanut butter and jam on toast and a glass of milk
My favorite cat of all time was named Winston! I look forward to your avatar!
All I've had is coffee and I'm getting hungry... looking around. No more cottage cheese, guess I'll have an egg.
Ran out without breakfast this a.m., spent too much time looking at the options. Had a couple of hot chocolates at the office, then they ordered lunch in for us. I'll do better tomorrow.
At home, coffee and a peice of bread, at work, peanut butter and graham crackers. Now I'm off to lunch.
One cup of coffee, one banana, some mixed nuts and a diet coke.
I wish I could have a real American breakfast. I am dreaming of pancakes, bacon, eggs, delicious if weak American coffee, sausage, hash browns. But - I wake up in Germany and have some yoghurt... Which is probably better for my heart and my hips. But just wait for my next vacation in the States!
Don't be so sure, margo. There used to be a yogurt (Snackwells brand) called chocolate cherry that did a heck of a lot for my spirit. It was fat free, too. Unfortunately, they apparently stopped selling it (and it's other variations like double chocolate and chocolate raspberry). Yogurt hasn't tasted the same since.
Pumpkin pie....it's a tradition.
breakfast was cinnamon raisin toast with a piece of emmenthal. mmmmmmmm
and hot cocoa with cinnamon once i got to work
It's Saturday - Bacon Day!!!
