Breakfast Suggestions Needed

natural yogurt topped with nuts and seeds is lovely. Also there are some low carb cereal and porridge options available if they suit your metabolism. Scrambled eggs also reheat nicely and you could pop them on a slice of low carb toast. I am testing some atkins shakes too and they seem to be ok and taste lovely.

I don't know about pitta breads, they are wheat. It would all depend how he reacts to wheat. I'm ok with mini wholemeal pittas ( I have only one at a time). Also I bought myself a food flask and am now carrying soups etc to work, which are instantly ready to eat. Lovely!

Have a look at www.lowcarbmegastore.com and you will find all sorts there. But like said, keep testing since different people will react differently to different things. For example some of the atkins products contain sugar alcohols which affect some people's sugars quite a lot.

Hi
I started low carbing today as well. I wasn't prepared very well this morning so just had cheese triangles wrapped in ham . Hubby had pepperami.
I was thinking of cooking off some hard boiled eggs & also some bacon & sauasages which could be stored in the fridge & then re-heated as required. I like Saz1's idea of yoghurt & seeds as well...

Maybe we should start a "started today" thread??

I have bought myself the 'Low carb gourmet' cookbook. (found on amazon)
Its brilliant and they is a recipe for Flax porridge which is pretty good.

On a working day I don't have time to make egss etc and this stuff is so simple and great with a bit of cream added. :wink:

I was wedded to my healthy muesli, not least because I believe breakfast is a meal which should be eaten before you wake up.

My meter persuaded me otherwise.

I stick a small handful of sunflower seeds in a dry frypan to toast while I fetch a large handful of mixed salad and watercress and a couple of olives from the fridge, butter a couple of oatcakes and stick smoked salmon between them, by which time the seeds are done.

For a change I use other types of fish, bacon, chicken and even lamb chops.

Here are some more ideas

What works best for me is high protein, moderate fat, low carb. YMMV of course.

How about kippers? The boil in the bag ones are quick and easy if not terribly posh.

I had half a kipper yesterday, a real one (Scottish!) never went near a bag in its life, I grill them

The bagged ones are better than nothing but not nearly so flavoursome, OTOH they don;t stink the kitchen out when you cook them
