Banting Breakfast with Vegetables…

I think it true to say that we need to increase our vegetable intake on this Banting Way. This is where our good carbs should be coming from. Perhaps we could challenge ourselves to have something green with every meal?  Can you imagine all those lovely nutrients? Our bodies will be singing and we will be doing a happy dance.

Why not have vegetables for breakfast? If we think of meals as 1, 2 and maybe 3, we need not think breakfast lunch and dinner, yes? So, my meal number 1 was Stir-fried Zucchini Noodles with Bacon and Parmesan, which I got off dietplan101. It was delicious (who doesn’t like bacon and cheese?) and the dish was only 5.6g.  The zucchini were prepared with a vegetable peeler that makes thin noodles. (I inherited it from mum, she was a gadget queen:) I would have liked bigger zucchini so I think I need to plant some and let them get big like my grandpa used to grow them.

Eggs go well with vegetables. Try any of the following next time you make a scramble, an omelette or a fritatta : Broccoli, spinach, zucchini, peppers, leek, celery, herbs, or asparagus.

I used a fair bit of ghee (clarified butter which you can buy at some Checkers stores, or you can make it yourself) when I cooked this morning, as I am beginning to feel the value of fats in my diet because it is taming my appetite. I realise that portion control has for long been my nemesis. Second helpings are not the norm these days. Nice is still nice, believe me, but I seem to be getting satisfied more quickly.

Unfortunately I cannot download my photographs because my old laptop is misbehaving. Things will return to normal on the weekend and I will catch up with the photos.

Have a beautiful Banting day!…
