#BoringDietTalkPost alert – this is basically what I’ve been eating for breakfast since I started to get a bit more serious about reducing my carbohydrate intake. I sauteed two small sliced button mushrooms and whisked up two whole eggs with a little half & half, 1 TB of chopped scallion, and a dash of Italian herbs, and poured it over the mushrooms. Green leafy veggies really hit the spot for when I do need healthy carbs, so I had this salad with my eggs today, and 2 TB homemade green goddess dressing drizzled on top.
The thing that’s hard to do is cut down on higher-carb veggies like onions and tomatoes…so I’m not going to! I’m just using a lot less of them. If I want to include onions in a dish, I’ll just dice them very finely and only use a tablespoons vs half a large onion, for example. Same with tomatoes (although those don’t seem to have a lot of effect on me yet). Right now, my salad looks boring AF and I’m also out of cheese, but I’m probably hitting the farmer’s market tomorrow to remedy the veggies issue, and my grocery order is due later today (with yep, CHEESE in it!)

Oh yeah, and that’s a little dollop of Huy Fong’s chili garlic sauce – which is pretty much un-pureed sriracha, but has none of the sugar that their sriracha has in it.
yum
I’m hungry
I swear, even only slightly reducing my carbs and eating this way has made me not hungry at all, Bruce Shark – when you gettin’ on board with me?
I have unconsciously started low carbing in the last few weeks. Probably due to these posts and my stepmother doesn’t eat a lot of bread or potatoes or rice unless it’s brown. I still crave bread though.
Shannon Shoffner – true. I haven’t been craving bread for a couple years now, because other than an occasional Jimmy John’s sammich (I’m talking, 3 times a year, between early 2015 and about a month ago) and maybe French toast or a bagel once a year, I pretty much don’t eat a lot of starchy stuff or even sweets.
I stopped buying: Bread, sugar, pasta, rice, noodles around December 2015 and have so far mostly kept them off my grocery orders. I say mostly, because I did buy a couple boxes of noodles once or twice so far this year, and I did buy Ezekiel 4:9 bread, which was sprouted 7-grain because I was being hard headed and wanted to believe it was good for me (it’s not). Then I decided to try to cut out wheat completely. I found a few alternatives to bread which have a small amount of wheat in them, like sandwich wraps (http://www.tumaros.com, http://www.flatoutbread.com, http://www.josephsbakery.com that I don’t seem to be having any problems with so far),
Also, I find it’s becoming a lot easier to even forget about breads and starches/pasta as I go along, since my meals are not centered around mimicking things that were high in complex carbs. I just eat a lot of meals which are non-starchy veggies and meat with fat. Also, I know there are tons of recipes online for keto versions of those things, if I feel like messing around with baking, and I’ve never really been a big baker.
But I AM going to make a low carb wrap/lavash crust pizza this weekend!
Bobbi Jo Woods very very soon.
