Can you tell me how many grams a 3/4 of a cup is?

Thanks for writing back. There are so many perspectives on diet that I am trying to keep an open mind.

Let’s talk about eggs for a second – are you concerned about the cholesterol intake? I would love to eat a 6 egg omelet , but I worry about the cholesterol alone is too high.

I currently do a very fast 5k run daily and burn about 400 calories and I try to eat under 2k calories consisting of mainly lean proteins and vegetables. I avoid dairy and I have minimal servings of breads – 2 slices per week at most.

I would like to incorporate more of your recipes (the omelet especially) after I gain some more muscle mass. Right now I am very weak in my strength routines.

BTW – if you are ever in Seattle let me know and I would love to pick your brain on how you are maintaining.

Thanks,

When I look at this recipe I see eggs, coconut flour and coconut oil. I see healthy fats, good protein and incredibly high fiber.

Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils you could ever eat. I supports weight loss. It activates the metabolism. It’s anti fungal and anti yeast so kills candida. It’s a medium chain trigliceride and is the “healthy” part of the saturated fats. (Not all saturated fats are bad).

The eggs are a protein. They too assist in burning fat, and activating the metabolism. Protein provides a feeling of satiety, or fullness and keeps us from eating too much as well as preventing a blood sugar spike.

Coconut flour is also high protein and high fiber. 5 Tbsp of coconut flour contains 27 grams of fiber.

All together, a single piece is quite filling, provides quality fat, a good protein and is quite filling with the fiber.

The coconut bread recipe is mostly protein, fat and fiber, with little if any carbohydrates. I’d guess 1 gram per slice and it’s completely gluten and grain free.

The 100 calorie whole wheat bread contains gluten, probably dairy products (milk of some sort) and very little else of value. It’s higher on the carbohydrate size, with very little protein or fiber. Whole wheat bread is not a healthy choice in my opinion.

The other thing about the 100 calorie slice of bread is that, as you say, “it’s only 100 calories”. One has to ask themselves if 100 calories is enough. The body needs fuel. 100 calories hardly cuts it when in my own case, I shoot for between 3200 and 3600 calories per day. I’m quite active and require more food. Even someone cutting calories can make use of this recipe because with a meal size of say 400 calories, a bowl of soup and a slice of coconut bread would be around the 400 calorie mark.

I haven’t written it yet, so I can’t recommend any of my own resources about saturated fats, but I can send you here to read this: Taking The Fear Out Of Fat from the Weston A Price foundation

Congratulations on your weight loss.

UPDATE: After I posted this comment, I re-read the other ones above. I noticed that Pepper saw this recipe as “a solution to her whole wheat bread issue”. She is sensitive to wheat and probably other glutens, and this recipe is a way for her to provide nutrition for her body that does not result in a “side effect”. Many people cannot tolerate grains or the gluten.

I am a little confused.

At just under 90g a piece (assuming the recipe above makes 6 servings) you are looking at over 300 calories a piece while exceding the recommended daily dosage of saturated fat.

I would seriously like to understand how this has worked well for you over a slice of say wheat bread @ 100 calories a slice.

In any case I love your website and I have tried much of your advice. I was once 325 Lbs and now I am 165 Lbs (under 6 months for the bulk of the weight).

Thanks,
