Though I’m not a big fan of eggs in the morning, I’m always on the lookout for interesting, and easy, ways to make them as a main course for dinner. This particular recipe really fit the bill in that it adds a bunch of vegetables and cheese, two of my favorite things to eat.
Because it’s so rich, this quiche doesn’t seem all that much like special diet food. Granted, the crust is missing, but how many times does the quiche’s crust end up soggy anyway? You won’t even miss it.

I did my one week weigh-in yesterday…down 10 pounds! I know that doesn’t mean much of anything during the first week of low carbing, because your kidneys let go of so much water, but it’s still motivating. Since the beginning of the year, I’m down 20 pounds, and I’m able to fit into a few clothing items I haven’t worn in quite awhile. Double motivation.

I have some very exciting news! For the past year and a half, give or take, I’ve had to take daily medication for my heartburn. I was never officially diagnosed with GERD, but I’m pretty sure that’s what the problem was.
I happened to run out of the medicine the day before I started low carbing again. After just four days of dialing back the carbs, my symptoms disappeared completely. I could tell the pain was lessening with each day, but Dr. Eades (of Protein Power fame) had mentioned in one of his books that GERD could clear up in as little as two weeks. Needless to say, the four days astounded me!
I should also mention that my symptoms never disappeared with any other nutrition approach I’ve tried: not calorie counting, not a Mediterranean-style diet, not Weight Watchers. Oh, and it got worse when I ate a vegetarian diet.
