Breakfast is easiest for me! I usually have a premier protein with a double shot black Starbucks coffee in the can. Or eggs and center cut bacon sometimes I add avocado. I have also done the Thomas light English muffin w an egg and Canadian bacon. I do have about 100 g of carbs per day but I don't eat sugar or I feel terrible.

Yes best decision I ever made . Lost 27 pounds over the last 2 years because I gave up all sugar and highly processed foods . It kills your appetite too because your insulin response is better .
