Contrary to what most people might think, the traditional English breakfast is in fact both very healthy and, with slight modifications, an excellent diet option!
According to the website British Life and Culture:
"The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Even though not many people will eat this for breakfast today, it is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain. The traditional English breakfast is called the 'Full English' and sometimes referred to as 'The Full English Fry-up'."
The only changes needed in order to make the full English breakfast into a low-carb meal is to completely leave out the bread/toast and to have the tea either black or with cream (instead of milk) and with sugar substitute instead of sugar. All the other elements are allowed. By the way, fried/grilled tomatoes are not mentioned above and I love to include those as well.
Enjoy!
