Eggcellent!

It’s “The Incredible Edible Egg”. Low carb diets are a lot easier thanks to these protein packed babies. I start the day with two, sometimes with cheese, sometimes with bacon or sausage. My previous experience with the Atkins diet gave me so much egg cooking experience that I never need a spatula to turn them. Just a small saute pan with rounded sides, a dollop of butter and a flick of the wrist after they are a little solid. (You can tell when they are ready to flip because they will slide around the pan easily when you swirl it.) Don’t add any salt, we want to reduce the sodium. Besides you can add any low carb condiments later. God old yellow mustard adds a great flavor to fried eggs. But it doesn’t stop there.

Think of eggs as the base for many meals. If the kids are having pizza, you can too. Make a thin omelet and add the pizza toppings. It will satisfy the cravings and still be low carb. Same for tacos. Those two strong flavors will go a long way. Besides it makes eating eggs a lot more pleasing than that scene from Rocky where Sylvester Stallone drank the glass of them. I always wonder how many takes that took.

TODAY: DO SOME STRETCHING EXERCISES. TWIST YOUR TORSO SIDE TO SIDE, BEND OVER AND TOUCH YOUR TOES (okay… TRY) THEN STRETCH UP ON YOUR TOES AND REACH FOR THE CEILING. THEN REPEAT TEN TIMES
