Eat Like Me
I have been eating this way for 2 months and have lost an average of 1 pound per week.
This is my favorite omelet to make. It is quick, easy and tastes great! Included are some great variations. These recipes are low in carbs and sugars for those of us who are watching our waist line or our sugar intake.
You will need:
1 tablespoon butter
1-2 slices of deli roast beef - chopped
1/4 cup of mushrooms canned (fresh optional)
2 eggs
1 slice of Swiss cheese
Melt butter in a good omelet pan - this is critical for no sticking. Add mushrooms and beef - saute until mushrooms are browned. Pour mixture onto plate. Crack 2 eggs into pan and stir until egg is beginning to cook on bottom. Place lid on pan for about 1 minute.
Layer Swiss cheese on one side of omelet then layer the roast beef mushroom mixture on top of the swiss cheese. Fold the egg mixture over and cover with lid until the omelet begins to brown - then flip the omelet and cover with lid until that side is browned.
Slide omelet onto plate and serve with cucumbers and cream cheese. Enjoy! Eat until you are stuffed!

Crack open 2 eggs in pan
Use the same pan just like it is

I mix with spatula and I pick up pan and let uncooked egg mixture fill in gaps

When egg mixture is almost all cooked then proceed to adding the rest of layers
Layer slice of cheese on one side
If you like lots of cheese you can add another slice
Layer mushrooms and roast beef over cheese

Avocado is also another great alternative for a side dish
