You are low-carb’ing. It is going well, but if you have to eat bacon and fried eggs (or a variation of it) for breakfast one more time, you will scream. So, how to get out of that rut? There are a number of non-traditional low-carb breakfast options, one only needs imagination...
Turning (breakfast) Japanese
Other than rice, much of the traditional Japanese breakfast fits well with low-carb eating. Grilled fish, rolled omelet, pickles, miso soup, all fit nicely into a low carb menu. Miso soup, particularly, is quick and easy, and could be partially prepared the night before. A standard recipe includes a block of firm tofu, chopped green onions, 3-4 tablespoons of miso paste, and 3 cups of dashi stock. Boil the ingredients together, and serve. Lots of pre-cooked low carb veggies can be added at this point; cabbage, bok choy, spinach, daikon radish, mushrooms…the possibilities are endless. Adding fish to this unique breakfast provides plenty of protein, is filling, and keeps your blood sugars stable.
