Low-carb breakfast, option 2

Here's another low-carb (carbohydrate) breakfast option: eggs over easy with bacon, diet orange soda and a nice fresh salad.

Note that you should never, ever drink orange juice on a low-carb diet - not even the freshly squeezed kind. If you must have orange, eat the whole fruit. The fibre in the fruit makes it lower GI (glycemic index) than if you drink the juice. This means that it is digested more slowly, thus raising your insulin levels less, and it is therefore less fattening. If I feel like having OJ with my breakfast, I'll have diet orange soda instead. It's not very healthy (because of all the additives and artificial ingredients), but it is very low carb and very low GI.

See my previous post for how to cook bacon. Eggs over easy is just eggs sunny side up, but then flipped and cooked a bit more. You can google on the different ways to cook eggs, so I won't go into that there.

The salad contains cucumber, red onion, fresh basil, fresh parsley, parmigiano reggiano cheese, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and freshly ground black pepper (i.e. from the mill).
