LCHF Folk

So where are the low carb, high fat, high protein folk?

I need some breakfast ideas that do NOT include Eggs.

I also need some snack ideas. I have been snacking on summer sausage and cheese. I realize that nuts and berries should be a last resort for snacks. Well really any fruit because it is high in sugar.

Just trying this SLIGHTLY this weekend, I dropped 2 pounds.

I recommend googling "paleo breakfast recipes" for ideas.  They tend to have lots of good ones.  I've seen some breakfast meat loafs, for example, that look awesome.  

Thanks Gwen!!!

OMG saag paneer -- would fit in perfectly and it is delicious.  It isn't really a breakfast food, but I could eat it anytime!  I'm full on it right now.

You can also do a search on Pinterest "Low carb recipes". Check out eggface web site too: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

This is my bailiwick! 

The routine I've sort of settled into is that my shake is my breakfast (drink on the way to work), and then I eat meal 1 at about 10am. I don't really limit myself to breakfast food, so it could be "dinner" type food, cheese, or whole milk greek yogurt (if I can find it, ugh).  I have a stash of portioned out food in the fridge and I grab 2 for each workday. I get sick of eggs, too. I try to rotate through my food choices so I don't get sick of anything. 

I think nuts are ok, but they don't make me feel so great. I don't typically eat snacks but if I'm on the run, I'll eat beef snack sticks (glorified Slim Jims), a shake, salami, Babybel cheeses, or pouches of almond butter. I love broiling salami with a little cheese on top as a quick meal.

Some of my favorite meals lately:

Langostino tails dipped in butter/lemon juice

Pizza casserole (basically broiling the toppings of a pizza)

Taco fillings 

Grilled shrimp with butter

Chicken salad with a vinaigrette

Steak! Lamb chops! 

My husband made fried chicken with garbanzo flour. It was promising... we'll definitely try it again. 

My biggest challenge is limiting dairy. I love it and it's so convenient but I think meat is a better choice. 

One of my favorite snacks are cheese crisps.  Just make haystacks of shredded cheese on a greased pan (or parchment paper) or muffin tin and bake until they get good and bubbly.  I also love ricotta cheese. I make pudding with it or a cheese bake with eggs, vanilla and a little sweetener for a cheesecake-kind-of-thing.

Sorry: Eggs are perfect food.  Almost perfect on vitamins, fat and protein balance.  Gotta figure them out since hard boiled ones make the best emergency snacks.  I hear you about them though, you just gotta make your peace with them.

Check the ingredients on the summar sausage, some manufactures sneak in sugar.  Also, for cheese, only buy the good high end stuff.  Stay away from any processed name brand, those manufacturers mess with the ingredients in them too much.  It it wasn't stored in a barn for a while, question it.  LOL

Remember, the general idea behind LCHF is to switch over to fat-adaption for energy.  Once complete, you shouldn't need any snacks or frequent meals.  In fact, you should forget to eat sometimes if you get busy.  If you haven't reached that state, check everything for hidden sugars and get off all the grains.  Grains are an opiat that induces hunger.  As long as you have sugar or grain in your diet, you've "got the monkey on your back" so to speak.
