Low Carb Menu #6 Liver Shrinking Diet
This menu is a little lower in calories than most of the menus. If you get hungry, add an extra roast beef wrap at lunch, more oil in preparing the eggs or dinner greens, etc.
Breakfast
* Broccoli-Cheese Frittata, made with ½ cup cooked broccoli and 1/3 c low fat cheese per serving – or make and omelet with the ingredients, or just scramble them all together. If doing it as part of a frittata, I counted 1 teaspoon olive oil – you would probably add more oil and calories if cooking the ingredients separately
* 2 slices Canadian bacon – can be chopped up as part of the egg dish if you want
Lunch
* Rainbow Soup – make Rainbow Soup, adding a can of beans
* 2 Roast Beef Wraps, made with 2 slices lean roast beef, 2 lettuce leaves, 1 tbs. mayo, and ½ cup roasted red peppers. Can substitute low carb. ketchup for the peppers, for 1 less gram carb. and less nutrients.
Snack
* 15 whole almonds
Dinner
* 1 cup cooked greens, such as spinach, made by sautéing with 1 clove garlic and 1 tbs. olive oil
Optional Dessert: Sugar-free gelatin
