30 Day Low Carb Diet Plan - Day 18

Day 18 - Low Carb Diets

Breakfast
Upside-down Breakfast Soufflé
1/2 cup egg whites
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup thinly sliced mushrooms
½ medium tomato, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup crumbled fresh goat cheese, or cheese of your choice

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add salt and pepper to egg whites and whip into soft peaks. In a heavy, oven safe frying pan or cast iron skillet, heat the butter over high heat and sauté mushrooms until soft. Place tomato slices over mushroom. Quickly fold cheese into egg white mixture and pour on top of mushroom/tomato mixture. Place pan in oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from oven and flip soufflé over onto serving plate.
Yields 1 serving
Total Net carbs: 6 grams per serving

Lunch
Low Carb Chili
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped onions
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs lean beef, chopped
4 cups canned tomatoes, drained or 4 cups beef both
2 Teaspoons salt (omit if using broth)
2 bay leaves
1 Teaspoon oregano
¼ Teaspoon crushed cumin
2-3 Tablespoons chili powder
2 cans Eden Black soybeans, drained

Place all ingredients in a large stock pot or slow cooker. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1- 2 hours. The longer this mix simmers, the more the flavors will set in. For extra carb reduction: substitute beef broth or stock in place of tomatoes (broth version reduces carbs to 3.2 grams per serving).
