How To Make A Fat Burning Omelette
Do I have a big thing for omelettes? Yes I do! But it’s not just because of the taste. Let’s take a closer look.
It goes without saying that organic, free-range, whole eggs are nutritional powerhouses. And they’re also one of my favorite fat burning foods. They’re filling, delicious, packed with essential micronutrients and they promote a healthy fat burning hormonal response in your body.
As if that wasn’t enough, just think about how versatile eggs are too. I’ve combined them with chicken, beef, tuna (no kidding), and almost every vegetable under the sun. And let us not forget that they are quick and easy to prepare.
This recipe is slightly different from the Fat Burning Breakfast Omelette because I’m going all veggie.
It is key to use whole eggs, and not just the whites. By doing so you’ll be getting a balanced hit of amino acids, making the protein in the egg easier to break down and use in your body. This is not the case if you only go for egg whites.
Ingredients & Preparation
I’ve gone for fresh and organic veg: Tomatoes, red pepper and a small white onion. But you can try any number of combinations. I’ve even seen asparagus in an omelette!
Food preparation is always the boring bit, so I get this done first. I’ll always chop the veg and put the omelette mix together before I start cooking.
For the base of the mix I use some unpasteurized and unhomogenized raw milk. How much you use depends on your taste, and the consistency you’re after. Then I add 3 whole, free-range eggs and a little sea salt and ground black pepper as seasoning.
Just a side note on salt. If you stay away from processed foods then your salt intake will be pretty low. A little salt is actually vital to maintaining good health, plus it adds flavor to your cooking. Go for sea salt or rock salt and remember to use sparingly.
Cooking Your Omelette
Next, heat a little oil in a pan (I use organic, extra virgin coconut oil because it is amazingly healthy and the fats are very stable under high heat – i.e. they don’t turn into anything nasty!) and cook off the onions and peppers just to soften them up.
Finally add your omelette mix and the chopped tomatoes, spread the mix and veg out a bit and cook on a medium to low heat. You’re almost there!
Tip: Make sure you move the pan around over the heat so that it cooks nice and evenly. I also finish my omelette off under the grill to make sure the top cooks through too.
Turn it out onto a plate et voila! You’re done.
Customize To Your Personal Tastes
Depending on your mood you can add pretty much any ingredient to your omelette, and almost any side garnish too. If you throw in an extra couple of eggs then you can even serve it up in two stages, meaning you only need to cook once!
Just remember to make sure that any sides, and they oil you cook with go a long way to determining how healthy and fat burning the meal is.
If you fry it in an ocean of refined vegetable oil and serve with a large portion of chips, then your looking at a stomach bulging meal, rather than a slimming one.
This fat burning omelette recipe is a great example of how weight loss recipes can be delicious and filling. Why starve yourself crazy when you can eat delicious foods and still lose weight?
