Breakfast!

OMG, I have not eaten like this since I was a kid.
All of my life I have been told meats and fats are bad for you, yet someone I still ended up at 400+ pounds while eating relatively healthy but being sedentary.

So this was my breakfast/lunch today.



What we have here is one of the steaks from last night, cooked to a nice medium, 5 or 6 strips of nice chrispy bacon, and scrambled eggs cooked with butter (instead of fat free oils as normal) and a bit of minced beef with Tillamook medium cheddar scrambled in and topped.

This was too much for me, I was able to eat half the steak, most of the eggs and all of the bacon, and yet while I was full I was not nearly as weighed down as a normally feel. Normally after lunch I am rather tired and ready for a nap in the chair for an hour or so, instead I was wide awake.

First Dinner!

OK so we are jumping into this feet first.
I am trying to keep my carb intake below 20 a day.

This was the beginning of our dinner.


What we have here is 4 rather nice steaks and for myself (as I am a snob) 2 bacon wrapped filets.
Ok so it is not because I am a snob, I just prefer the flavors and the softness of a bacon wrapped filet, sadly these were from Fred Meyer and were not exactly top quality.

After a few minutes on the grill a nice medium...


And all plated up with some nice green beans.


I have the feeling this is the start of a beautiful diet!
