EventsLCHF-breakfast in the summer
A lot of people wonder what to have for breakfast when eating LCHF (Low Carb High Fat). How about something delicious and satisfying that only takes a minute to prepare?
Here is my usual summer breakfast.
Step 1
The foundation is high-fat “Turkish yoghurt” (10% fat). It can be eaten as it is, but I prefer to add in some heavy whipping cream (40% fat). The extra fat is a nice bonus, the main reason is simply to make the consistency a bit looser, not quite as firm as the turkish yoghurt tends to be.
Yoghurt + cream
After stirring
The magical ingredient
Here is my new breakfast müsli, since a month back or so. It’s a mix of different kinds of nuts and seeds and coconut flakes. The ingredients can be bought separately in the store and mixed like in the picture above:
- Coconut flakes
- Walnuts
- Hazelnuts
- Almonds
- Flaxseed
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
Luxurious finish
Some blueberries finishes it up. Of course, blueberries are not strict LCHF. But in limited amounts it’s not much sugar (a few grams). It’s OK not to add them, but adding blueberries makes it taste even better. It can be worth it if you are not too sugar sensitive.
It’s possible to vary the breakfast with different berries, like raspberries or strawberries.
Enjoy
To finish the breakfast up add some coffee, of course with heavy whipping cream in it. Eating this luxurious, satisfying and nutritious breakfast makes it easy to go without any more food until a late lunch… or maybe even until dinner.
What’s your favorite breakfast?

I also haven't lost any weight since I started and am worried that I'm doing something wrong
If one cut out a lot of carbs one need to eat more fat.. otherwise one get tired and hungry.
Have you read this?

Thanks for the link. Looking at the link you provided, my meals contained only a little fat and too much protein.
Hope it helps.
And then.. on this diet its often less garbage that form feces, and to do the big thing every second day is normal.
You know.. fat dont make that much feces?
Some take more fibers for bowelmovments and regular stolls, it could be psyllium husk or whole psyllium seeds!
I prefer whole psyllium seeds, and I take it in a glas of water.
Other whole seeds is altso good for bowel movments.. like linsseeds or others!
Fibrius veggies is altso good!
Dont be afraid for the fat, ad as much as you need for energy.. later you can lower the amounts, testing how much/litle is sustaineble and make you lose weight whitout hunger.
And try sprinkle a good olive oil on your fresh veggies.. make a vinigrette.. its easy, and good to have on a bottle in the fridge!
If you eat a lot of fat you get awfull full for a very long time!
And you can try to eat butter by spoon, you cant eat that much befor you vomiting!
One comon side effect by eating low carb high fat is that one eats very seldome, its comon to eat only twice a day, nothing inbetwen.
Some cald it intermitent fasting but that comes naturaly by eating LCHF!
But.. his not ill I presume, he can eat more carbs whit fibers.
In sweden the most comon is cald Turkish and Greek youghurt.
Nowadays they altso sell Rusian typ youghurt.. 17-18% fat!

About half of the carbs in plain, full fat yogurt are eaten by the active cultures before it gets to you, so you're probably looking at about 7 grams.

My boyfriend and I have been on LCHF diet for almost 2 months now. Both our weights have slightly decreased, but I'm already low at 58kg 1.62m female. I do, however find we're getting ill more often. I've been either down with flu or slighly snotty and sore throat 4 times in the past 1.5 months. Could it be because of the diet change? We've also come out of an extremely stressful situation the same time we started the diet, is this more likely the reason we feel ill more often? My boyfriend has also been ill more often. We usually don't get ill and live a very healthy lifestyle. For me, another reason could be I do interval training around 3-4 times a week...could I be straining my body too much? But my BF doesn't do this and have the same....?
I have never had so much energy in my life. I read on one of the blogs a man who said I don't call it my DIE-IT, I call it my LIVE-IT. I personally cannot imagine why I would ever want carbs, starch and sugar in my life ever again. I have lost 17 pounds in 2 months, but that is a SIDE EFFECT. The most wonderful thing is the energy. The fact that I am stronger, walk faster and feel stable and happy all the time is the absolutely most important thing that has happened to me. Why would I cheat? The only person I would be cheating is me! I will be 74 next month and if anyone had told me this could happen to me, I would have just shrugged it off. But here I am. I have lost from a size 20 to a 16 and I know for a fact it will go on down to a 10 or 12. The most important part is to feel young again and in charge of my life and not a victim of something I did not even begin to understand. I am American and it is so sad to me that our leaders have told us to be healthy we must eat high carb, Low fat and they have been (deliberately?) killing us. When you think about how overfed we are, please remember that this is genocide. Think of Hansel and Gretel and how the witch fattened them up before the kill. When I look at a carb now, all I can see is poison. They do not appeal to me. I do not want any. Both of my children are dead because of carbs. My grandchildren and great grandchildren are in imminent danger and I cannot help them because the brainwashing in the US is so well done that when I tell people that I love to eat more fat and less carbs, they assume that I am just old and probably a little crazy. They will act in accordance with what they believe. I can only set an example and hope they see it. If you think that you are cheating on your diet, I would like to ask you, who are you cheating????
I feel wonderful and if I never put another carb in my mouth, I am happy to die from carb starvation and saturated fat overload. At least I will die happy and with energy. HA HA
What fruits are highly recommended?
Any fruit that that taste sweet or is used as desserts.. are to avoid.
Ahh.. they are not poistion.. but they contain mostle water and sugar!
An apple a day is not to much.. if one eat proper meals and dont need to lose weight!
Dont munch on fruits, eat proper meals instead!

it is made with loads of sugar. Even the
real stuff has lots of sugar. It is good though.
The patty and sausage both have some carbs depending on how it is made.
It's actually easy. :) Everything that have a high amount of net carbs (carbs -fiber) should be avoided with LCHF (eg. quinoa).
The longer you culture your yogurt the less lactose (milk sugar) remains yielding a lower carb yogurt. Longer culture times also give you a more tangy taste. I like mine to be milder so I use a shorter culture time and figure yogurt is going to be where I spend more of my "carb allowance".
See http://www.culturesforhealth.com/greek-yogurt-starter.html to get started (they have ebooks and articles linked from the starter culture page). You do not need to purchase much equipment, there's a good chance you have most of the stuff already. You can use a small ice chest to incubate in, a flour sack, colander & bowl for straining, etc. (I did buy the Greek yogurt strainer after I had made a few batches just because I could put the yogurt back in the fridge to strain, and the yogutherm incubator because it was a LOT less counter space taken up -- again make a few batches and confirm you like making your own yogurt before buying anything (you do have to have a good thermometer)
I'll be ideal size by Christmas at the latest but I'm 69 years old so will need surgery to get rid of the hanging skin. So lose it while you're young! I most likely have 10-14 lbs if hanging skin; body, thighs, bingo wings... Don't give up; it works if you follow the website, eat when hungry and stop eating before you feel full because 20 minutes later you'll feel satisfied. Good hunting!
Try a few days fasting. That'll reduce that hanging skin via autophagy. Also, fasting is easier if you are already on LCHF.
