Re: What's for Breakfast, Doc?

[Guest guest]

I usually have eggs and blueberries with yoghurt. My kids also like pancakes,

toasted ham and cheese sandwiches, omelets, eggs and bacon. Often they have a

toasted pancake wrap. Luckily we can get the ham, bacon, etc. without nitrates.

What's for Breakfast, Doc?

(tried and failed miserably at a rabbit imitation)

Ok, bad joking aside, what's everyone's favorite breakfast foods?

Adapting recipes has been pretty easy for us so far. Breakfast

however has been less than encouraging. My kids are frosted

flakes/pop tarts sort of kids. Now they *love* my made from scratch

whole wheat buttermilk pancakes, and they actually like oatmeal too,

but into each life a little more variety must (and should) fall. My

7 year old will eat eggs, the 8 year old won't, but his favorite

he's always requesting is bacon or sausage. (I dread the nitrates

though!) I'm going to try my hand at thermos yogurt (thanks Tas!)

once I figure out which box has the thermos in it.

So, what's on your breakfast table? I could use some inspiration.

TIA!

's power shake for one:

1/2 banana

a few berries (frozen or fresh)

1/4 c. coconut milk

2 egg yolks

1 t. of acerola powder

2 T. coconut oil

1 c. keifer or yogurt

Blend well and enjoy!

Most commonly a yoghurt shake -- a bunch of ice cubes, some saccharin, a

little lacto-fermented blueberry concentrate, six egg yolks, and a pint or

so of homemade yoghurt (I make mine from cream, not milk). Sometimes I'll

have a steak and a smaller shake, or a bowl of stew, but usually I'm not up

for doing anything elaborate in the morning.

What we eat for breakfast:

Scrambled eggs with melted cream cheese mixed in, or grated romano on top, or

cheddar cheese melted in (all of us like that so I'm lucky)

Kefir Smoothie (3/4 cup kefir, splash of cream, handful of strawberries, or one

ripe banana and some ice)

You can get nitrite free bacon.... I believe the brand is Applegate

Farms....it's pricey, but worth it.

I also like Rice and Shine (organic) mixed with a dash of maple syrup, cream,

butter and salt)

I've also been known to enjoy leftover cold chicken for breakfast.

HTH..

I use a Cuisinart hand (or wand) blender that does a good job--the CO gets

chopped up into tiny pieces and it doesn't bother me. The other option is

to use room temp ingredients to avoid the problem altogether.

Eggs.... pastured of course.... omelettes with meat, sour cream, cheese,

veggies. Sausage and bacon are widely available without nitrates. I get mine

at Whole Foods. The " Scandinavian " breakfast of hard boiled eggs, sliced

meats and cheeses, and some fruit is a nice breakfast.

I think if there is any meal in your day that is low carb, it should be

breakfast. I think that the whole bread, bagel, cereal, croissant, pancakes

concept of breakfast is a terrible way to start the day - with a big insulin

rush that screws up your blood sugar all day long! If you're going to carb

out, do it right after dinner when you're going to go to bed and can sleep

through the insulin rush and the ensuing blood sugar crash. <G>

I practice the Warrior Diet, so I don't eat a large meal for

breakfast, but I do always have *something* in the morning. In

general, I make a shake with six raw eggs, 4-6 tbsp of coconut oil, 2

tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, and either some yogurt, raw milk, or

wild blueberries, depending on what I have. Often I add a couple

scoops of chocolate Designer Whey protein, and some vanilla extract.

I usually have a small glass of this upon waking, and then take a

slug of it when I need some throughout my undereating phase.

are those 6 raw eggs or 6 raw egg yolks?

Whole raw eggs.

When I was in school, I'd generally eat three raw whole eggs upon

waking, and bring four eggs to school, of which I would just eat the

yolks.

*shrug*. It seems pretty high-quality to me. I haven't seen a

compelling argument against high-quality protein powders. Sally's

main problem seems to be that they'll induce vitamin A deficiency,

but it seems obvious to me that if you're supplementing with CLO, eat

liver, etc, that you're making up for the vitamin A-- besides, muscle

meat doesn't have much vitamin A anyway. I lift weights, so I find

it useful in certain circumstances.

[Guest guest]

so is that just a myth, then, that raw egg whites are bad to eat? i

thought they supposedly sucked the biotin out of our systems or

something.

i hate throwing away perfectly good egg whites but i do it all the time.

marie i'm new to this but made shakes with VCO yesterday and the day

before and it came out fine - no clumps that i could see, feel, or

taste. if it's not a difference in blenders could it be a difference

in VCO? i use tropical traditions. i'd try it again - maybe you

Well, I really doubt they " suck biotin " out of our system, but they

probably make the biotin in the egg yolk less available. But egg

yolks are loaded with biotin. I've never seen a quantitative

analysis of how much biotin versus how much biotin-binding capacity

are respectively in the yolk and white, but if you eat the yolks, and

you are also eating liver regularly, I suspect a biotin deficiency is

not very likely. On the other hand, why not get the extra biotin?

That's why I figure if I eat some of my eggs whole, some just yolks,

and some cooked, I'm probably doing well-- especially since I eat

about four dozen a week.

> i hate throwing away perfectly good egg whites but i do it all the

The whites aren't good for much. Most, but not all, of the nutrition

is in the yolk. Half the protein is in the white though. I'm trying

to maximize my protein right now, and am on a strict budget, and they

add volume to my smoothies, so I'm using them at the moment.

Do you use eggs? If most other ingredients are water soluble, you

need an emulsifier, and egg yolks should do the trick. I always melt

my CO and put it in warm, and put it in last so I can blend it

*immediately* after putting in, which for the most part avoids clumps.

Chris

thanks, i'll try it with the whites and see how feel.

My daughter likes mochi smeared with cream cheese, eggs on bread or egg

burritos. She also likes bacon and i have some nitrate-free bacon that is

tasty. I also make her raw milk smoothies with banana, vanilla and maple

syrup.

I have discovered soup for breakfast. I pour some bone broth in a pot and

cook veggies in there and i'm done. I may try dropping a raw egg or two in

there for egg drop soup. Variations are endless on that one.

You're welcome Marie. I won't make any guarantees for the effect

of " an " egg yolk, since I use six, though.

Hi ,

I haven't noticed any harm to my digestive system. As far as I know,

the effects of the trypsin inhibitors in egg whites are kind of up in

the air. Furthermore, since there's a considerable body of research

that has found trypsin inhibitors to be anticarcinogenic, I'm even

less sure what to think about it. Besides, how can the effects of

enzymes or enzyme inhibitors be cumulative? Wouldn't they primarily

block digestion of the meal that they were with, rather than build up

in your system?

I used to do stuff like that. When I first got NT I thought it was a

big deal so I would separate my egg yolks in the morning, and then

make ommelettes out of the whites. Blech! Egg white ommellettes are

so nasty.

Anyway, where are you a student?
