High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

[*Anya*]

Since I have been missing cereal so much, I ordered Paleo Coconut flakes from Julian bakery on Amazon.

I got them today. They are just delicious! They have 7 net carbs, 7 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein ( yes, low) and they are the only grain-free cold cereal available. They look like wheat flakes but are made from Coconut meat. I certainly won't be able to eat it every day but it is so nice to have another option.

I went back to work this past Monday and had a really hard time with breakfast.

What do readers of this thread do for a quick breakfast when you don't have much time?

I cook a whole pack of breakfast sausage or bacon and boil a dozen eggs on Sunday for the week.

If I don't have time to fix anything i have something already cooked.

For a quick breakfast when I don't have anything available and no time to cook ... I go to a fast food restaurant and get a side order of scrambled eggs and one or two side orders of sausage.

This is the first day of flushing carbs from my system. What works for me is to not focus on losing weight for the first few days and just work on getting the carbs out of my system. So I eat what I want, when I want, as long as it's low carb.

For breakfast I had a Denver omelet (ham, bell pepper, onion, eggs) slices of tomatoes and decaf.

I'll have a couple small salads today (lettuce, sprouts, very few tomatoes—if any, chopped cabbage, chopped kale, cucumbers), will snack on boiled eggs, will have some shelled edamames with sesame oil, and for dinner I'll probably have salmon in anchovy butter with cauliflower rice and maybe some steamed chard.

I'll make some kale chips this weekend and will snack on that, too.

My goal is to lose weight and the only way I successfully lose weight is to count calories. I'll start counting my calories once I get the carbs out of my system. It's easier for me to eat less than 1300 calories a day when I'm eating low-carb foods.

While searching for a good Paleo flatbread recipe I came across this tasty looking little number: Thinking they would make a great "dip chip" or if spread a little thinner when making, they could be used as a crunchy bed for other foods.

Also, on the topic of carbs, breads are a big weakness for me, partly because they are just so convenient, and partly because they taste so good. I am trying to find healthy replacements for them. So if you have an awesome recipe using any of the nut/seed meals that is Paleo friendly please share it here.

*Tip- I have found that mashed and seasoned rutabagas make an awesome replacement for mashed potatoes. I personally prefer them over the cauliflower replacement. (note: I have no intolerances to dairy so I do use a little evaporated milk and grass fed butter when I make them.) Rutabagas are Paleo and extremely nutritional. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/nutr...agas-1801.html

Here is a granola recipe that may work for those of you looking for a cereal replacement. I'd recommend refrigerating it if you live in a hot climate like I do.

Paleo Maple-Cinnamon Granola {Grain-Free; Gluten-Free; Nut-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}

I made Paleo brownies yesterday from a mix and melted the coconut oil and forgot to add it to the batter. I forgot it was in the microwave. Out of sight and all that.

It was so thick, I couldn't stir it.

I thought, what is wrong with this? I had some organic, unsweetened applesauce and thought, WTH, so added some. I didn't even check to see if ok to do it, didn't count the net carbs either.

Came out semi-ok. I just needed a desert bite or two.

Jesse, the link below for granola doesn't work for me. Maybe it's my iPad?

Thanks Anya. It seems that anediblemosiac.com is having server problems. Hopefully they will get it straightened out soon.

P.S. The raw brownie bites posted at the top of this page are pretty good, plus they are good for you.
