Recommended Posts

Baked eggs in Bacon Rings

Adapted from Dr. Atkins' Quick and Easy New Diet Cookbook:

6 strips nitrite-free bacon

melted bacon fat for brushing tins

4 slices Tomato, each about 1/2 inch thick

4 eggs

pepper to taste

chopped onions (optional)

Preheat the oven to 325. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to shrivel, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Brush 4 cups in amuffin tin or 4 small ramekins with bacon fat. Place a tomato slice in thebottom of each cup. Circle the inside of each cup with 1 1/2 strips ofbacon. Break an egg into each muffin cup and season with pepper. Can add chopped onions. Fill any unused tins with Water to protect them fromburning. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. To serve, loosen the edges of the eggs with spatula and transfer the eggs to plates.

Yum! Will Try it. Wonder if you could use a sausage patty ( the pre-cooked kind) ?

Sounds good but all that talk of bacon fat makes me a little queasy, :blink:

I think I would prefer Eggface's Muffin-less McMuffins; she takes a ring mold puts it in a frying pan, places a round sausage patty at the bottom, breaks an egg into it , and lets it cook.

has anyone tried these yet? Do they like really stick? I'm wondering if using pam spray wouldn't be better to prevent sticking cause with my luck they would never come out and i'd end up throwing them away. . .

Have not tried these yet but I remember a similar recipe on one of the Suzanne Somers videos about cooking healthy. Her husband's favorite recipe and he made them with crispy fried onions I think. Looked AWESOME! I'm not ready to pull out that video because I haven't even reached the mushy stage and don't want to torture myself more than I already am.... lol But I will pull it out soon and watch it again to get some ideas. I'm not sure what he used to cook them in but they were low carb so probably similar to the recipe above.

I'm on my 2 week pre-op and trying to watch every carb I put into my mouth, but I made a modified version of these for Breakfast and they were awesome! I didn't have any tomatoes on hand, and I used low sodium turkey bacon. Here's how I did it.

4 strips lo-so turkey bacon

4 Medium eggs

1/2oz low fat monterey jack cheese

Made 4 "egg muffins"

I microwaved the turkey bacon for 2:30, long enough for it to get a bit warm and for the grease to cook off. Then I drained the grease.

I sprayed the muffin tins with a little bit of olive oil cooking spray (0 carbs, and doesn't leave a weird taste)

Pre-heat the oven to 450 (I had to cook it on a higher temp to get the eggs to set right)

Then I wrapped the bacon in the tin like the recipe calls for (except I only used 1 strip of bacon per tin), and put the egg in. I sliced a half an ounce of cheese, and put a little on top of each tin. I ate mine over some steamed broccoli....it was SOOO good, and with all of the calories and nutritional info. from the ingredients, I had 2 of the baked eggs and bacon and 2/3 of a cup of steamed broccoli for 240 calories and 4 net carbs. Yum!

Using the olive oil spray really helped, and it didn't stick at all! Also, I think using the bacon fat might make these a bit oily in texture, so I opted not even to mess with that. My husband absolutely LOVED this recipe. I think this would be a good one for you ladies if, like me, you have a husband who LOVES to eat junk. He wasn't even aware that by feeding him this I was controlling is caloric and carb intake :) Overall, a pretty good morning meal! Enjoy!

I've actually been experimenting with some low carb low cal recipes of my own. I'll post them as I figure out what works in my house and what doesn't.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
