    Breakfast is my favorite meal. I am just starting on this and I love eggs but I need more variety. Any good breakfast ideas that are gluten and dairy free that do not center around eggs?

    • It didn’t sound appealing to me when I started the diet but because I got tired of eggs, I started eating leftovers. Now I might eat leftover salad or stirfried chicken with veggies for breakfast at least a few times a week.

      • yeah for left overs! I have stopped eating eggs in the morning and just have a few nuts while I’m fixing breakfast and some protein and usually 3/4 cup barely stir fried vegetables heated up in the microwave. this is enough to take my vitamins without getting any heartburn and brings my blood sugar level up enough so I can go for my morning walk. I’m at day 3 of week 8 and feeling great.

    • Sometimes I will just eat 28 gms. of almonds. It is amazing how that can tide me over until the morning snack. I also sometimes have a smoothie made with almond milk, berries, ground flax seeds, and hemp protein powder. I try not to eat too much at breakfast so I have food left over for the late afternoon, which is the time I am in danger of overeating.

    • Hi, I have a mixture of spinach and tomatoes sauteed with olive oil and herbs. Eggs go great with this. I cook a batch, keep it refrigerated and take out what I need in the morning.
      i also have home made vegetable soup with an egg in the morning. My soup is so laden with vegetables it is like a stew.
      You can eat anything left over from other meals as well.
      I sometimes have a protein shake with almond milk or coconut milk, frozen berries, hemp protein and flax seed. You can add things like, avocado,greens, celery or cucumber to this. Any leftovers I save for a snack or the next morning.
      Blessings, Margaret
