I learned from a pro…my sister, who, in my opinion, is still a bit over board with the skinny thing. I remember when I first started this journey to change my eating habits, were were in a grocery store. They were offering some samples of something…fried okra, or something. I reached for one and my sister snatched me away and said, “Fried worms! How disgusting! How could they even offer them?!” It has served me well for about the last 26 years!
I love cheese, @jerv. American, not so much, but other cheeses, I love love love. Swiss cheese, cheddar cheese. I love cheese. CREAM CHEESE!! Certainly not ¼ or ½ pound a day. I don’t think I could physically eat that much. My favorite sandwich is a tomato sandwich with Swiss on grilled French bread. Yum!
As far as your omelet question, I’m faced with that every Saturday, because Rick and I go out for breakfast every Saturday. However, they only offer 3 egg omlets. I would not even want a bite of yours All that pork would just gross me out.
Now a veggie omelet, with extra cheese, and maybe some bacon, I would consider, and I sometimes order. I end up only eating about half of it, though. Also, I would prefer my veggies to be grilled, not raw and crunchy.
Usually, though, I just have 2 eggs over easy, a piece of toast and some milk. Sometimes I have a pancake, but can only eat ¼ of it. ½ if I’m super hungry, which I am usually not in the morning.
I read once that your stomach size, when it’s normal, is about the size of your fist. That’s all you should really need at one sitting, and that’s pretty much all I eat, even before I heard that.
