Diet With The Incredible Edible EGG

July 1, 2008

Get thin, get smart. all in one unique natured filled package! One little oval package helps you make both happen, and you don’t even have to get a prescription for it and yes, it’s totally legal.

Eggs were reinstated as a health food a while back, when major studies cleared them of increasing heart attack and stroke risk.

Now there’s evidence that people who scramble, boil or poach one for breakfast versus eating a bagel with the same number of calories.

So, let’s bypass junk food cravings (bagels are NOT junk food, by the way…they are SOUL food). And eat fewer calories for at least 24 hours. Without even trying. While eggs are a good source of nutrients and protein, for reasons that most scientists aren’t completely clear with, it turns out that they make your body feel fuller longer. Not like water melon or Chinese food…just to name a few…both again, two that I really enjoy.

Not only are you smart waist and calorie wise for eating them, but they’re good brain food, too. Did you know that the Incredible Egg is packed with selenium, a nutrient that can help keep your memory sharp and your thinking fast. In fact, people who get at least 55 micrograms a day of selenium have cognitive test scores that put them in a league with people 10 years younger. An egg (14 mcg) on whole-grain toast (10 mcg) gets you almost halfway there….that doesn’t mean eat two eggs and two pieces of toast…that was for those of you out there who are diet savvy…or shall we say diet cheaters!
Don’t forget you can use wraps too…make an egg burrito…slice some tomatoes on it…have some fun…salsa…enjoy…eggs do not have to be boring!

Here is an egg tip for you…if an egg floats…it is NO GOOD…makes it easy for you to check them before you even crack, bake or cook with them.

The Baby Boomer Queen’s Fried Egg Sandwich

two slices of whole wheat bread [just not white...it is bleached!]
one “free range” chicken egg [that floated]
one tablespoon of butter [you can use spray oil, but remember it is chemicals]
cut out the inside of one piece of bread…do this with a glass or tear it…it is your sandwich and it all depends on how anal OR hungry you are…

turn burner on medium
place 1/2 of the butter in your pan, coat the pan with butter
place the bread with the hole down in the pan
crack the egg, putting the egg in the hole [I bust my egg yolk, that is up to you]
when it is half fried, flip it over
fry the second half
then take off and place on a plate
fry the other piece of bread with the remaining butter, both sides.
pace together the two halves with the egg on top and enjoy.
This is my idea of a Southern fried egg sandwich.
Sometimes you have to have comfort food!
