Type 2 Low carb breakfast

[imperp]

Hello looking for ideas please other than things revolving around eggs - in all formats or bacon & sausages. It’s the meal I struggle with most. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I got fed up of eggs for brekkie, then found this low carb coconut ‘porridge’, not real porridge not a grain in sight! I have it every day now with strawberries and cream. Never tire of it!

Oh I couldn't imagine life without eggs and bacon!

I used to have a full fat Greek yogurt and flaxseed with 2 large cut up strawberries or half a dozen raspberries but had to give this up as it was keeping my levels up until lunch time (interfering with a liver dump). I stopped and now just have a coffee with double cream. That keeps my levels in the 5s all morning and no more liver dumps, and no hunger. You could try the yogurt and use a meter to see how it affects your levels.

Nothing.. I have a tea or coffee and that's it!

I quite liked double cream on nuts when I tried it. Nothing like as sickly as I thought. A sort of high fat, low carb muesli. I did sometimes add 2-3 raisins chopped up for a more muesli-like effect but they weren't necessary.

One option is just to cook a bit more for your evening meal, then reheat it.

You can eat anything you would eat at any other time for breakfast - most of the world does, it's just (??) our anglo-saxon / American influenced societies where we think we have to eat bits of stuff that looks like torn up cardboard out of a cardboard box or bacon and egg. How about a bit of left over last night's dinner, a bowl of soup, cold meats and a tomato, some cheese and a stick of celery.

Food. It’s a new mindset not to associate certain foods with certain meals but try it.

Fried halloumi with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, avocado and wilted spinach. Fab!

In the words of that great man Ace Rimmer "smoke me a kipper i'll be back for breakfast"

@imperp I use some of my carbs to have raspberries or blackberries with either yoghurt or cream. I can't face cooking first thing.

It depends on how hungry I might be - if I am I'll eat or drink whatever takes my fancy or is convenient or ready to hand, but often a mug of coffee with cream or just a drink of water is all i want, but I've never been a great breakfast eater.

While a bacon & egg, etc breakfast is possibly the UK norm, as already mentioned other countries break their fasts with different food: e.g. cold meat and/or cheeses, pastries, or cake - I ate yummy honey cake for breakfast years ago on holiday in Greece, and mouth puckering yoghurt from little bottles in Yugoslavia. But often just a coffee with cream ( or added butter &cocnut oil - that infamous Bulletproof Coffee) can actually keep you satisfied until lunch time - or possibly even longer. Low carb higher fat should keep you well satisfied, so it's not always necessary to start eating early in the day.

I just have a boiled egg at 9:30 on break, then a pulled pork Barritto for lunch and I'm good all day

Aldi paleo muesli.
5.5g carbs per 35g portion
Nothing like ‘normal’ muesli - not an oat in sight!

 

[LouWilk059]

I had grape tomatoes, radishes, black olives, sweet red peppers, half an avocado and a coconut dark chocolate square. All was delish and quite filling. As I've said before, food is food.

kippers and chopped cooked cauliflower, and mayonnaise - or other fish, even other veges, sometimes salad - or a stir fry of courgette mushroom and sweet peppers, maybe leftover chicken thighs from dinner - even a chop or steak - sometimes even a toasted Lidl protein roll with lots of red Leicester cheese.

cauliflower rice kedgeree...now there's a thought..
