livers20 Posts: 220 Joined: 2004/05/13	2004/06/23, 02:52 PM That is a lot of eggs!!! How do you usually eat them? I tried in the microwave but they are way to messy with the bowl I use. It sticks to the bowl really bad. I am going to buy and try this microwave thing from Sears that makes egg omelets in the microwave.

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/06/23, 06:32 PM why hello there anni! something interesting i see here - anni and i eat the exact same # of eggs and whites in the morning...this probably means i should be eating more than i am, correct? after all, you're what like 5'2" and i'm 6'0" and i know i weigh a lot more than you. perhaps i will bump it up to 1 egg + 5 whites...then i'd be at 3 1/2 dozen a week. -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.
Anni313 Posts: 1,790 Joined: 2004/03/04	2004/06/23, 07:09 PM Howdie I go for a 2 mile walk every morning before breakfast, otherwise I probably wouldn't eat that many. I also have 1/2 c cooked oatmeal even though, as you know, it overflows in the microwave every morning. I hate that. -------------- Anni ******* Hard work must have killed somebody

sandysford Posts: 1,139 Joined: 2002/11/18	2004/06/24, 02:20 PM We only eat the egg whites, I was talking to Ron last night and in November we got a Dog and named her Dawg, so all the yellows don't go to waste anymore, she loves them, She can hear a egg crack a block away, We never have to call for her, just crack aan egg:laugh:. Ron and I both have a 6 egg white omelet every night before we go to bed, Egg whites for breakfast too, boiled eggs as a snack in between meals, egg whites in my salads. I use 6 egg whites and 4 scoops of cooking protein and a box of sugar free jello, one cup of water, pop this in the oven and wooo hoo protein snacks, put these on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 mins and cut into squares. about 22 cal apiece and 4 grams of protein. I eat these at work. And as far as what I eat right now it is broc, chicken and egg whites, rice and beans, oh and my protein drink and oatmeal every morning. I have started eating alot of salads it is hot where I work and a cool salad seems to hit the spot. If you want I can post the diet Ron has me on right now, it is a fat loss, muscle gain thing, It seems to be working, lost about one pound aweek so far, He said it should be a slow loss and it is. -------------- THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SUCCESS, PRIDE, JOY, HAPPINESS, LONG TERM FULFILLMENT AND SELF-ESTEEM!

david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/24, 05:04 PM That is good to hear. The flax oil is a rough go. I bought some to put in my protein shake, and I couldn't stand it. It was very fishy, the taste and smell. I had to throw my shaker cup in the garbage, it made my stomach quiver with fear. Good diet though. I need to regroup one of these days and actually measure, and follow one. -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day

jonathanweaver Posts: 576 Joined: 2004/06/14	2004/06/29, 01:28 PM So what I'm learning here is that I need to eat egg whites (without the yolks) every morning and leave the Frosted Mini-Wheats for the kids. So why are we not eating the yolks? "My mommy always told me to eat the yolks. They contain lots of protein." But my "mommy" also told me to always buy a bigger house when my income goes up, so I've learned how much stock to place in her advice. Sandy, could I get an actual shopping list to go with that diet? I've never actually shopped healthy before. Instead of Flax Oil, what pills do you take? Are they actually Flax Oil pills? Thanks, -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan
sandysford Posts: 1,139 Joined: 2002/11/18	2004/06/29, 01:38 PM Yes they are fax oil pills and I take five everynight with my egg white omelet, Ron tell me that taking them then will help me to burn fat, I can't explain why, he is the researcher in this family. I get my vitimins and flax oil, bread at the health food store. My shoping list is this: Chicken brest, we cook about 19lbs of this every week broccoli- two four pound bags Tuna- in water, the small cans, starkist sells it in 3 packs eggs No fat salad dressing oatmeal, not the instant frozen blueberries and strawberries brown rice and sweet pot. Smuckers Natural Peanut butter Lots of fresh veggie like, broccoli, califlower, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, ect. I like a chicken salad with no fat dressing.
