Live Uncomfortably

Still aren't following me on Twitter? What are you waiting for?

I’m about to reveal to you the most delicious breakfast I have ever eaten. Are you going to eat those boring Frosted Flakes every morning for the rest of your life, or are you adventurous? Don’t be old and stuck in your ways.

Warning: There’s no processed sugar involved!

Warning: You’ll need an open mind for this one!

The best part about this recipe is that it’s very nutritious and calorie dense - a perfect way to start the day.

The recipe: (makes 1-2 servings depending on the person)

Here’s what you’ll need:

1. 6 Omega-3 Eggs
2. 1 oz Organic Heavy Whipping Cream
3. 1 banana
4. Organic butter to coat pan

If you can’t get/afford the organic ingredients you’ll be fine, but just know that it wont be as healthful.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Prepare the 6 eggs how you’d like - scramble, over easy, etc. Cook on low heat in a little bit of organic butter.
2. While the eggs are cooking, chop up the banana into very thin slices
3. When the eggs are done, throw em on your plate, mix in the banana slices, and then add the cream on top.

Optional: Sprinkle flax meal or pysllium on top for added fiber.

This breakfast is perfect for creating an anabolic environment in your body = muscle building. It’s also great for just waking up in general. If you don’t eat a big breakfast you’re seriously depriving yourself. And, you’re seriously missing out if you don’t try this.

Worried about cholesterol in eggs? Here’s 6 reasons not to fret:

1. Cholesterol is vital to body functions

Cholesterol is required for construction, maintenance, and normal function of the cell membranes. Your cells could not function without cholesterol. Cholesterol also helps to create bile which aids in the process of digestion of fats. Bile helps to metabolize fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. And you guessed it: all of these fat soluble vitamins are found in the egg yolk along with the cholesterol.

2. Your body produces more cholesterol than you eat

Cholesterol in the blood comes mainly from your liver and from your diet. The amount of cholesterol your body produces is directly related to how much cholesterol you ingest. When you eat a low cholesterol diet, your body produces more cholesterol. This is why a low cholesterol diet does not decrease a person’s overall blood cholesterol level.

3. High cholesterol alone does not cause heart disease

High cholesterol helps fight against infection. People with low blood cholesterol have the same rate of heart disease as people with high cholesterol. It is the ratio between HDL “good cholesterol” and LDL “bad cholesterol” that matters much more.

4. Cholesterol found in eggs raises your HDL levels and lowers and LDL levels

The fat in eggs (when you buy from healthy chickens) contains a large amount of omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids have been shown to raise HDL and lower LDL. The vast majority of the fat contained in eggs is found in the yolk.

5. Eggs help lower the triglyceride level in the blood

Triglyceride levels are usually much better indicators of coronary risk than cholesterol. High triglyceride levels in the bloodstream cause atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

6. High cholesterol intake raises testosterone levels

Testosterone is imperative for overall health. Testosterone increases natural energy levels, produces red blood cells, and protects against aging and osteoporosis.
