Low Carb Granola , Low Carb Porridge ......do they exist ?

[rebrascora]

The secret of a good omelette is a good pan and patience in not messing with it until it has set and don't have the heat too high.

Added to that, making sure the pan and the fat in it is hot before you pour the beaten eggs in and then turn the heat down a bit and let it cook. Not sure how others do it but I fry the mushrooms/onion/pepper, etc in the pan first and then pour the mixture over the top when they are nearly cooked and then sprinkle grated cheese on top whilst it is cooking, then I slide it out of the pan onto my plate and allow it to fold over as it lands on the plate. I like it well browned and slightly crispy on the outside and soft and creamy in the middle. Omelettes are yum!

Can you have a two egg omelette every day without worrying about cholesterol?

Keto Hana granola is great but as someone else said, the portion sizes have to be really well controlled or else you end up eating 100s of calories for a bowl of cereal. I tend to have some Greek yoghurt, a few strawberries cut up, and sprinkle the granola over the top to add some texture without adding too many Cals. Smaller portions also help as it’s hugely expensive if you were having it on its own.

My main breakfast ‘go tos’ are scrambled egg or bacon and mushrooms.

As with anything it depends. My body doesn't seem to have a problem with saturated fats and my cholesterol levels have come down since I started eating more, but I do also take a fibre supplement in the form of psyllium and chia seeds which improves my gut health as well as being beneficial with regard to cholesterol. The consensus now seems to be that we don't get our blood cholesterol directly from food, so a lot of the previous advice about cholesterol is flawed, but the science is not clear cut and there are very opposing views on it.

I think taking middle ground is always probably the sensible option, especially when the science is significantly divided, so a 2 egg omelette 2-4 times a week should be fine. Much as I love omelettes, I like to keep them as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple. Mostly I have creamy Greek style natural yoghurt with mixed seeds and berries and sometimes a sprinkle of nutty granola, but it is literally just a sprinkle. I don't buy a fancy low carb one because the small amount I have only amounts to 3-5 g carbs and I can live with that. A bag of Lidl Deluxe Nutty Granola lasts me over 2 months so it is not like I am eating a lot of it. Of course I also have the advantage of injecting insulin so a few extra carbs here and there can be counteracted, but I like to keep my intake of carbs reasonable low.... about 70g a day is a comfortable level for me.

I have made my own using the amounts specified on the back of the Keto-Hana granola + a few tweaks (no artificial sweetener either). Make about 1Kg at a time and it lasts ages + it’s much cheaper.

Lean bacon , mushrooms lightly fried with butter ?

I really can't stand greek yoghurt

Can I have half a pot of ordinary strawberry full fat yoghurt plus milk as the lubricant ?

Lean bacon, mushrooms with butter would be good, but I use a splash of black tea - the tannins really bring out the flavour.

You don’t need to worry about the cholesterol in eggs because dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol. If you slathered them in cheese it would depend on how your individual body responds to sat fats. Some people seem more able to cope with dairy than others, and don’t get the rises in LDL that are the. result of sat fats blocking receptors for re-absorption of LDL.
