Keto Cooked Breakfast (for weekends)
Cooking a big breakfast at the weekend is a nice treat. You have more time to prepare and relax. You can even cook this as a slow keto brunch.
Add plenty of low carb non-starchy vegetables such as spinach and mushrooms, plenty of eggs and of course bacon. And remember to cook/wilt the spinach in the bacon fat. Tasty and nutritious.
What's wrong with breakfast cereals?
Breakfast cereals are made with grains. Grains are what they feed cattle to fatten them up. No one wants to be that size!
If you want to know what is wrong with having cereals, grains and juice in the morning, this is an excellent post to read. If you understand what is wrong with cereals and grains, you will understand what is wrong with modern food production. You'll thank me that you can enjoy a big breakfast again, without the guilt the low-fat nonsense has given us.
You won't miss toast or cereals ever again. This is what we have been missing out on. Tasty and so nutritious. Add leafy greens and tomatoes for colour and antioxidants.
Why are grains so bad?
Grains are high in carbohydrates, grains raise your blood sugars, raise your insulin requirements, raise your appetite and cause fat storage. Now add that glass of juice in there and you're over your carb limit for the day. Grains are highly processed and add zero nutrition to your day.
What is a keto breakfast?
Now you have discovered why you want to give up sugar and grains, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious keto breakfast. A keto breakfast is full of healthy fats and quality proteins.
A keto breakfast will keep you sustained for longer and supply you with all the essential fats, vitamins, minerals, micronutrients and amino acids your body requires. Nothing is falsified or fortified.
A low-carb big breakfast will keep you fuller for longer so you won't get that insatiable need for morning tea.
How to start keto (and give up sugar)
To give up sugar you need to stop the worst areas first. For most people, this is sugary drinks and their sweet breakfast cereals and smoothies. You will then want to give up other items such as sweets, candy and baking.
If this all sounds too hard, I have a free handbook for you, how to start keto.

Where can I find the carbs etc. please?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com
There are no nutrition panels in this recipe as I haven't stipulate how many tomatoes, mushrooms etc so it would vary considerably for each reader.

I , too, prefer to cook the bacon first and use the bacon fat to cook the rest of the Big Brekkie, if there is in sufficient fat in the pan I add a little butter. I understood that we should never cook with Olive Oil, but it is great to use in salads.

Bacon fat is so yummy, especially to wilt the leafy greens with. I cook all the time with olive oil, unless you are heating it to smoke point, it is perfectly safe. This article on which fat to use might be worth a quick read.

Love the idea of a big breakfast, especially on the weekends. Some people fry avocados and add that to their breakfast. Never thought of fried avocado, but it's not so bad - interesting. What bacon do you recommend? I live in the USA and many say that bacon is not so keto because of the high protein content and some have sugar even though the carb count is zero. The whole conversation about protein on keto is not so clear to me...Oh well, thanks so much for the big breakfast idea!

I buy Henderson's bacon here in NZ, it has minimal preservatives and processing. It is amazing. Keto and LCHF both advocate moderate protein, so roughly 1-1.5grams per kg of ideal body weight. High protein can kick you out of ketosis, but we don't eat high protein. Remember bacon (and most meat) is not 100% protein, it has fat, water etc. Bacon is roughly 37g protein per 100g bacon.

Where can I buy the bacon in N Y C?

Oooh how I would love to come to NYC and check out the range of bacon you have over there. Can someone else comment here please? I love locals helping out one another 🙂

I have read so many conflicting reports about using extra virgin olive oil to fry. I have read that it is unstable and other reports say it is fine to use. Very confusing!
Alan Sawatzky
I say cook the bacon first, then cook everything else in the bacon fat. Yum!
Erica Garcia
can this be eaten every day during the week and still be healthy? I work 12hr shifts a day and go about 7hrs after breakfast until i can eat lunch so i am looking for something that will fill me up until then

Absolutely! This is the breakfast of Kings! A great healthy dose of leafy greens, oily fish for your omega 3, eggs for protein and cream cheese for some lovely fat and protein to keep you sustained all day. Enjoy 🙂
