  ...Bacon and swiss
  ...Mushroom and avocado
  ...Bacon and avocado
  ...Cheddar and sausage
  ...Ham and broccoli and cheddar
  ...Spinach and feta
  ...Goats cheese and mushrooms

• Quiche is good, made without a crust, and flavored with cheese and meats.
• Protein smoothies/shakes.
• 'Muffins' made with eggs and your choice of sausage, hamburger, shredded zucchini, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, cheeses, etc. Just pour in the muffin tins, bake and freeze for easy breakfasts on the go.
• Sick of breakfast food? Try some cream cheese on turkey, rolled up like 'wraps'. Make your own wraps with deli meat instead of tortillas.
• Deviled eggs, or egg salad.
• Mock danish, mock brownies or pumpkin pie if you wake up with a sweet tooth.
• Breakfast burritos, on low carb tortillas.
• Breakfast casseroles and frittatas.

Lunch and Dinner Ideas

• The possibilities are countless! Starting with light meals and working up, we have a few suggestions to base your menu on. These are just starters. Use your own imagination! Look at the induction grocery list and add whatever you have a taste for.
• Salads are very smart. You can eat quite a bit and still fall under the acceptable carb amount, plus you will get much needed vitamins and fiber. Try and eat lettuce other than iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce, while cheap, offers zero nutrition! Romaine, field mix, bibb, escarole, raddichio and the countless versions of ready made salad mixes are all delicious ideas and they will add lots of variety to your meal.
• Top your salad with protein filled meats and cheeses. Hard boiled eggs, bacon, sliced turkey, chicken and even delicious warm steak. Warm meats are especially tasty with Caesar salads. Try grilled or cold boiled shrimp, crab or lobster. Cheese shredded and sprinkled on the salad doesn't have to be the standard cheddar that stocks salad bars. Try fresh grated parmesan, chunks of blue cheese, feta cheese and grated baby swiss. Mix and match the cheeses and meats and you will find it hard to get tired of salads.
• Garnish your salads with fiber filled raw veggies. Try raw broccoli florets, cauliflower, thin sliced summer squash, zucchini, radishes, mushrooms and if your daily allowance will allow it, some sliced tomato and onion.
• Dressings can pack in hidden carbs, so watch the labels carefully! The most likely solutions will be ranch and bleu cheese flavors. You might also want to use a homemade oil and vinegar. Flax seed oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and with it's nutty taste, would be a good addition to a salad. Olive oil is also a good choice, and it goes well with vinegar and spices. Be sure and choose cold pressed, high quality oils.
• Sick of salads? Try some other light choices! Deli meats can be rolled up around cream cheese for a quick and easy lunch. Don't stop with regular meats and cheeses. Look at the selection available in your deli. Try cajun meats, meats flavored with sun-dried tomatoes, marinated in oils, encrusted and roasted with peppercorns, etc. Try the unusual meats! Sample a variety of cheeses and find some strong flavors to enhance the taste of your rollups. Turkey rolled with lorraine swiss, bacon and avocado is an original choice. Roast beef with cheddar, scallions and a drop of sour cream is another idea. Don't hesitate to mix and match the possibilities!
• If you miss sandwiches, try some of the low carb bread and roll ideas that are floating around. While they might not be just like the bread you used to eat, you'll find that it can be an acceptable replacement and you won't have that tired bloated feeling after eating all those carbs! Fill the sandwiches with chicken salad, tuna salad, egg salad, or make a BLT or even just a plain turkey and swiss sandwich!
