I just had this for breakfast and recorded it in my recipe data base. I am trying to record some of my recipes to share because I usually don't use them for myself. I just cook by my senses. It is hard for me to even remember or judge how much of what I used unless I measure and write it down immediatly, which I did in this case.
Since Adkins encourages fat, enjoy!!
It didn't copy all that well....

"Me agreeing with you doesn't preclude you from being a deviant."
My history is RNY in 2005, a weight loss of 253 pounds, then a 60 pound regain in 2009-10. I attribute my gain to monster cravings , exacerbated by slowly adding simple carbs to my diet.
I take full responsibility for my gain, but the role of carbs, for me, could not be minimized. They made me crazy, obsessed and thinking about food 24 hours a day.
Since November 2010, I have changed my eating significantly. My staples are now egg whites, fish, greek nonfat yogurt and protein shakes. I get healthy, monounsaturated fats. Sort of a modified Atkins plan, but works for me. I "accessorize" with non starchy veggies and one fruit a day. I cannot tolerate beef, chicken or pork very well, never could since the surgery, but I hope to add some of those items back someday.
The result is that I am back on track, having lost 50 of the 60 pounds regained.
The most significant change, however, is my intense cravings are gone!!!!!! I am able to eat 3-4 small meals a day and be satisfied. I am not thinking about food all the time, but that is a work in progress.
I know my eating plan is a bit different than many of you, but the reduction of carbs is the most significant and positive change.
I look forward to hearing your successes too.
Thanks,
Pam
