Weigh In - 257
I was stuck for a few days, but now I'm back to losing. I didn't get discouraged about the lack of loss, I just kept up with low carb. I feel better so why stop? No cravings, have cut down on portion sizes, may not be eating enough. It's amazing that food no longer consumes my every thought. If Ron brings junk into the house, I don't even feel tempted! Feeling awesome!

Spinach & Mozzarella
I love spinach. Fresh or from a can, it doesn't matter... I love it!
There is a Chinese place that we eat at that has this awesome spinach and cheese dish. They pile spinach nearly and inch high ab d top it with cheese. Lots of CHEESE! I'm sure there's is more to it, but since I'm not a cook, I have no idea what else makes it so awesome.
In my quest to find as many one to two many cooking options possible, I came up with this idea.
Empty 1/2 can of spinach onto a plate, spread it into an even layer and top it with a think layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. You can add some spray butter if you like (I do). Cover with a paper plate or whatever won't sick to the cheese and put it the microwave for 1 minute. Add salt and or pepper if you like. 2 minutes from start to finish and is super yummy!
Eggs, Spinach, Cheese & More! LCHF
My new concoction doesn't look so pretty but it sure is yummy!
Working with the idea that fat is good and very important to a low carb diet, I came up with this option.
First start with coconut oil, about one tablespoon in a skillet. Then add two handfuls of fresh spinach. Once the spinach cooks down, add 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon or so of zero carb heavy whipping cream. Break up the yolks and mix the cream and eggs up in the pan (with the spinach). When the eggs are about done, add 2 pieces of pepper Jack cheese to the top. When I cook eggs I always put a lid on the pan to keep the heat in, this way the eggs cook all the way and the cheese will melt nicely.
After the cheese has melted, fold the concoction in the pan (like an omelet)and slide on to your plate. Top with 2 tablespoons of salsa and sour cream, salt and pepper to taste.
The only things that have carbs would be the salsa and sour cream, 2g and 1g respectively. This is a very yummy, full flavor meal.
