High Fat, high protein, low carb

My attempt at Oopsie bread... this recipe....

is it supposed to taste so eggy??



Oopsies
6–8 depending on size.


3 eggs
100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese
a pinch of salt
½ tablespoon fiberhusk / psyllium seed husks (can be excluded)
½ teaspoon baking powder (can be excluded)


Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used for a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries. Enjoy.

Yeah, they are pretty eggie. Not my favourite low carb bread, but they are ok. They are better when you put toppings on.

I actually liked mine with raspberries and cream!

I like the bread rolls I made recently. And the flax bread.

I think I preferred the flax bread.... But that was a bit bland without cheese :) I might give something else a go next weekend :)

I have no idea whether this diet has anything to do with it, but I've just had an almost 100% pain free, bloating free period. That hasn't happened for a long time!

Down another kg too!

It is the diet 100%. I had a month early on where I ate low fat and high carb (basically I just forgot to eat like I normally do and existed on mostly fruit) and I had a painful period again. It was weird! It made me make sure to eat more fat again and I haven't had cramps since. My period arrives with no warning and apart from the blood I wouldn't even notice it's happening.

I did still have the customary pre warning back aches and a little bit of cramping first evening. But for a woman with endo, that's a miracle! Normal period in recent months has been pain day one, sleepless night in agony, agony day 2, sleepless night and then tenderness and bloating for day 3 and 4.

Weird thing is the natropath (who charged a small fortune) told me it was dairy that did it, I've eaten a truck load of dairy in the last month!

Omg ausgirl..... I just made your mug cake.... Freaking awesome....! But I couldn't eat it all (as DH didn't want one, I tried to eat both... Couldn't... Probably a good thing. Lol

Well I have hit 76 kg for the first time in years! I am in a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to fit into for a long time today! 6.1kg loss so far! Thing is, while I am eating high fat, low carb most of the time, there have been a few weekends where I haven't and still I continue to lose! I love this.
Thank you N2L for introducing me to it!!!

Im thrilled to hear Ausgirl! Well done :D it's quite astounding isnt it!

Your post came at a good time. Feeling a bit lonely eating this way. Not giving up though. Determined to prove the detractors wrong :)

Keep it up and you will be buying new jeans!

Thought I should check in with everyone, I've been a bit preoccupied lately with other things ;) so haven't been on here a lot. How's everyone doing? My body seems to have turned into a weight loss machine, I had a really bad eating weekend, read lots of carbs 2 weeks ago, yet the scales have gone down another 700g anyway. It's probably slowed a bit, but it's not going up!
I don't crave sugar anymore, ever. My only downside is my tongue feels a bit dodgy and the dry mouth thing is still there a bit, though not as bad as previously mentioned.
I've been trying on clothes that were tight as or I couldn't get into last season and they are loose, I am loving the thought of going into summer thinner rather than fatter after winter for a change.

Keep up the good work everyone. N2L sincerest thanks for pointing me in the direction of high fat low carbs!

Woo hoo!!

I am 600gm off 10kg lost (need to change my ticker!) Pretty happy about that :D

Been a bit slack with cooking this week as my DD has been away, but I am still on plan :) It really is becoming a way of life.

Great job Ausgirl! I'm glad it is working for you!

Hi there LCHFers, I have been thinking about moving towards this way of eating for a while. I am not LCHF yet, but have been consciously cutting back on carbs mostly. I already generally don't eat sugar/fructose.

I am hoping that you all can help me out by posting what you eat each day. There is plenty of info about what you can/can't eat, but what I am after is an actual list of what you actually ate on a given day. Just to give me some ideas and a real life example. TIA

I've been doing this for nearly 4 months consistently, well when I say consistently, I usually have cheats on the weekends, especially if I am away with someone special. As you can see from my ticker, this has most definitely worked for me and I am one happy chicky!

A normal day of HFLC for me looks like:

Breakfast - Alternate between depending on time frame:
* Grain free granola with full fat milk
* Bacon and eggs - 2 -3 rashers and 2 eggs
* Tea with cream

Lunch - often leftovers from dinner night previous or
Salads with ham and lots of cheese, sometimes salami instead of ham
Now it's warmer I lean more towards the salads, in winter I will have leftovers or soup.
Occasionally I make the parmesan crackers and ave with cream cheese and ham/chicken/salami

Snacks -
Full fat cheese
Parmesan crackers with dip
Nuts
(I hardly snack anymore I just don't feel hungry)

Dinner -
I haven't changed this alot other than cutting the carbs - so not much rice or pasta these days, still have the occasional potato now but was very strict in the beginning.
Meats (so steak, chicken, pork with the crackling)
Vegies and lots of them, but not starchy vegies
I often make a veggie bake with cheese sauce - yum, sometimes with chicken in it
Mince dishes
There are so many things really.....

Dessert -
Don't often feel like it now but occasionally have frozen berries with cream

So months on, thought I'd revive this thread. Need to adjust my ticker as post breakup, I've found about 4kg (sigh), but am back on LCHF to get them back off again. Just too much feeling sorry for myself eating occurred in the last 7 weeks!

Helllooooooo anyone out there?????

Me :)

Ive been off the wagon fixing a few health issues but getting back on over the past few weeks. Found some great new recipe sites too. Look at Ruled Me.

I'm still in the contemplation stage of considering this. I think I eat too many carbs and I lose weight when I stop eating carbs but I also LOVE carbs! LOL.

I'll check out that site, thanks for the tips.

No probs. I will link it as it's actually a blog.
