No carb breakfast that doesn't include eggs

[ery123]

Trying to ease up on my carb intake, and breakfast is my hardest meal to adjust. I am sick of eggs and need some new ideas to jumpstart my mornings.

Thanks!

@ery123  I hear you! Actually, if you're going to cut back on carbs, at least begin the day with some. You'll be hungrier if you don't have some carbs in the morning. You can decrease the carbs and have your evening meal with fewer carbs.

You should use the food logging section of the dashboard to keep track of what you eat.

In the morning, I eat oatmeal and by evening, I'm eating salads and lower carb offds when possible. Beef jerky has no carbs, too.

You trying to cut back on sodium too?

Welcome to the forums.

sausage, bacon, ham, lunchmeat, cheese.

also, i disagree with the previous poster.  there's no reason you'll be hungrier without carbs for breakfast.  just make sure you're getting enough fat to be satiated.  finally, beware of beef jerky and make sure you read the nutrional label. a lot of them, especially flavored ones, have a lot of sugar.

i forgot, cream cheese pancakes.  they have eggs, but they're more like crepes.

2 eggs

2 tbsp cream cheese

3/4-1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

blend everything together (we use a nutribullet).  cook on medium for about a minute on each side.  eat as is, or top with a bit of homemade whipped cream.

Low carb pancakes  2 eggs, 1/4 cup cottage cheese Blend in blender. No sugar syrup(I use the syrup made with Splenda) and butter. The "pancakes" don't taste eggy. They come out sort of like crepes and are a little difficult to flip. I have to slowly kind of roll them over. It takes a little practice. Don't over brown them.

I agree with Carl that you do have to watch the sugars on most jerky. The kind I get is Jim Melton's (available from Cabella's mail order)

1 ounce is 60 calories, 10 mg cholesterol, 190 mg of sodium 13 grams of protein, 6% iron and no sugars.

Depends on what you're avoiding too. If you're trying to have lower sodium and cholesterol, looking more closely at the food labels are important.

That recipe looks great and I'm out of vanilla!!!

Simple Carbohydrates and Oils/Fats are your enemy.

Complex Carbohydrates (whole grains and vegetables), are your friends.

Don't eat more meat in a day, than the size of the palm of your hand.

what works for you may not work for others.  for me, oils/fats are my friends.  carbs are primarily obtained from non-starchy veggies and nuts, no whole grains.  meat is eaten for nearly every meal.  it works for me.

edit: oils for me = olive oil, coconut oil, rendered fat from meats.

Well, hope you live in the moment ...

[carl669]

your information is wrong.  nutritional ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis.  also, low carb does not necessarily mean ketosis.

My information is quite correct, but your understanding of it could be wrong.

Yes, ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis (but a severe life threatening form of ketosis),

and you don't get it from low carbs, but you do get it from excessive protein and fat, such as

what you described that your preference and intake was - it's very dangerous, but what you

want to do yourself is your own business - just don't try to convince others of bad practices.

[carl669]

nutritional ketosis is a perfectly fine state as long as you produce insulin.

"But this state of metabolic derangement [ketoacidosis] is not actually possible in a person who can produce insulin, even in small amounts.  The reason is that a feedback loop prevents the ketone level from getting high enough to cause the change in pH that leads to the cascade of bad problems.  A person who is said to be “keto-adapted,” or in a state of nutritional ketosis, generally has beta-hydroxybutyrate levels between about 0.5 and 3.0 mM.  This is far less than the levels required to cause harm through acid-base abnormalities."

"However, during very low carbohydrate intake, the regulated and controlled production of ketone bodies causes a harmless physiological state known as dietary ketosis. In ketosis, the blood pH remains buffered within normal limits"

Summary of Events in Pathophysiology of DKA

• First: A precipitating event occurs which results in insulin deficiency (absolute or relative) and usually an excess of stress hormones (particularly glucagon)
• Hyperglycaemia occurs due to decreased glucose uptake in fat and muscle cells (due to insulin deficiency)
• Lipolysis in fat cells now occurs promoted by the insulin deficiency releasing FFA into the blood
• Elevated FFA levels provide substrate to the liver
• A switch in hepatic lipid metabolism occurs due to the insulin deficiency and the glucagon excess, so the excess FFA is metabolised resulting in excess production of acetyl CoA.
• The excess hepatic acetyl CoA is converted to acetoacetate (a keto-acid) which is released into the blood
• Ketoacidosis and hyperglycaemia both occur due to the lack of insulin and the increase in glucagon and most of the clinical effects follow from these two factors
• Other acid-base and electrolyte disorders may develop as a consequence and complicate the clinical condition

like i said, what might be fine for me and others, may not be right for you.

As already stated, please don't try to convince others of your dangerous point of view ...

Please remember to be considerate in your Community posts. This discussion certainly benefits from the sharing of varied opinions, but not from personal attacks.

[Keto_James]

Carl669 you are completely correct about the differences between ketosis and ketoacidosis.

Ketosis is the natural process of the human body burning fat for fuel. Which humans have been doing for a thousand of years!

Ketoacidosis only happens in people with type 1 diabetes whose bodies don’t produce insulin.

No point arguing with people who are not willing to do the research!

My favorite no egg, quick and easy breakfast is Greek yogurt mixed with coarsley ground almond butter, almond extract, and Splenda to taste. I also like this with crunchy peanut butter.

[FatAdjusted]

I had to switch to a low carb breakfast with no eggs as well.  This is what I do:

- make a protein shake with chia seeds, small piece of avocado and protein powder sweetened with stevia

- upto 50g of homemade sausage (no fillers) or left over meat from dinner
