5 Keto Breakfast Ideas that AREN'T Bacon & Eggs

5 Keto Breakfast Ideas that AREN'T Bacon & Eggs - Thomas DeLauer

1) Bulletproof Coffee + Pea Protein + Collagen

Fat Coffee

Grass-Fed Butter/Ghee:

Ghee contains butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid - butyric acid is an essential nutrient for the digestive system because it helps maintain healthy cells throughout the GI tract, and provides energy to the cells in your large intestine

Ghee is also a rich source of the essential fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E, and K

Sustained Energy:

Blending the fat into the coffee is believed to break the fats into micelles, which bind to caffeine molecules; from there, they’re all broken down together at the pace of the slowest part of the molecule - in this case, the fats

Pea Protein

Pea protein is derived from ground yellow split peas and often from a mechanical rather than the chemical separation of soy and whey proteins - this allows the pea protein to also retain soluble fiber, which is known to provide many benefits to both cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health

Polyphenolics, in coloured seed coat types in particular, which may have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activity, saponins which may exhibit hypocholesterolemic and anticarcinogenic activity, and galactose oligosaccharides (byproduct of pea protein production) which may exert beneficial prebiotic effects in the large intestine*

Collagen

Collagen stimulates human cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes), which has the potential to result in more cartilage tissue

Glycine is the primary amino acid in collagen, making up about 33% - glycine is that it is a precursor to glutathione - Glutathione is responsible for effective and reliable detoxification through the liver detox pathways

2) 1-2 Whole Eggs + 2-3 Additional Yolks

Selenium

Selenium is also essential to the proper functioning of glutathione peroxidase - glutathione is 100% dependent on having a selenium atom at its core for proper function

In fact, selenium is what gives the enzyme its potency in preventing and cleaning up after destructive oxygen free radicals - as such, decreased selenium in the blood leads to decreased glutathione peroxidase activity

Choline

Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine - specifically, choline is transported into the cell by a transporter protein in the membrane of the presynaptic neuron where it combines with acetyl CoA to synthesize the neurotransmitter acetylcholine

Acetylcholine prompts synaptogenesis, the healthy growth of synapses throughout the brain, which enhances memory encoding, and facilitates the action of all other neurotransmitters as they communicate messages

Additional:

Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin D, vitamin K, vitamin B6 & B12

3) Ground Chicken or Breakfast Sausage with Coconut Oil and Sauteed Spinach + Cream Cheese or Vegan Cream Cheese (make a creamed spinach)

Coconut Oil

Lauric acid to monolaurin

Spinach

Spinach has a very high content of potassium and magnesium
Also contains COQ10, which plays an important role in strengthening muscles, especially heart muscles which continuously pump blood to all parts of the body - contributes to the reduction of hypertension and relaxes blood vessels, while maintaining proper blood flow

4) Riced Cauliflower with Bacon Bits + Diced Chicken

Riced Cauliflower (1 cup contains ~5g of carbs)

Cauliflower contains several anticancer phytochemicals like sulforaphane and plant sterols such as indole-3-carbinol, which appears to function as an anti-estrogen agent

Di-indolyl-methane (DIM), a lipid-soluble compound present abundantly in Brassica group of vegetables, including cauliflower, has found to be effective as an immune modulator, antibacterial and antiviral agent

Also contains manganese, which is required for gluconeogenesis

Bacon

Phosphorus is a basic building block of your DNA, as well as ATP, the energy molecule that makes muscle movement possible

Specifically, all energy production and storage are dependent on phosphorylated compounds, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), which are responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information, are long chains of phosphate-containing molecules

Additionally, the phosphorus-containing molecule 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and regulates oxygen delivery to the tissues of the body

Fat Content

The fats in bacon are about 50% monounsaturated, with a large part being oleic acid, and about 40% being saturated fat, accompanied by a decent amount of cholesterol and the remaining fat being 10% polyunsaturated

I just wanna thank you for creating a platform where users can find the answers they're looking for without being forced to pay for it first. Really appreciate that

I don’t know about everyone else but I really sincerely appreciate how much research that goes into your videos. Thanks to you and your team.

“Who here is sick of eggs?” *starts cooking eggs*

[CosmicCat]

Can I add one I came up with?

If you miss cereal/granola, this is a good fix:
A few tablespoons of hempseed hearts (approx 1gram carbs) a few walnuts and pecans minced to your preference, unsweetened coconut shreds, a little nutmeg and cinnamon, unsweetened milk of choice. I use a little erythitol. Very yummy cold or warm.

I love Keto! It's hard at the beginning but once your body and mind acclimate to the changes it's all well worth it. I have actually been able to lose over 30 pounds since I started and can't imagine ever not doing keto anymore. It becomes a way of life, it makes you feel great. The keto recipes are all delicious and don't have to be expensive. Don't give up guys!

[rudimentaryganglia]

I never get tired of bacon and eggs every day for breakfast but interested to see other options.
Cheers!

[UnclejHolio]

I’m so excited that you popped up in my suggested vids... newbie to Keto and I’m loving the results. I went vegetarian for a solid year and ate very clean. My result was losing only 15 lbs and I was hungry and tired all the time. Now doing Keto I’m down 25lbs from 269 and feel better, stronger, and more energetic than I have in years. Thank you for the teaching the science behind the proper Keto life style. 🥰

I was recently missing oatmeal... so I made “noatmeal” with hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax meal and almond flour with a splash of almond milk, some vanilla and cinnamon... it’s so good! 1.5 net carbs, 28g fat, 13.6g protein per serving :)

1. Scrambled egg plus yolks. 2. Modified bulletproof coffee. 3. Creamed spinach with sausage. 4. Cauliflower hash with chicken & bacon.

[hopetogether]

I'm good with non-breakfast foods for breakfast. The creamed spinach-sausage dish and the cauli-chicken hash sounds awesome! I'm insulin resistant but using IF and keto, my fasting glucose dropped from 111 to 96. I'm hoping now weight loss will follow! I'm a 65 year old woman with some physical handicaps so walking is difficult but I'm using my cane to force myself upright and moving. I can only handle 5 minutes at a time but every little bit helps. I've just added some resistance bands for strengthening. Yay!

The 5th breakfast shall remain a mystery

[JoshRedmore]

"Here are breakfasts that AREN'T eggs!" #1 - Eggs!

[simonnattrass]

Does DeLauer read his script off a teleprompter or know it all off by heart because he never pauses or takes a break with any fillers and knows his stuff absolutely flawlessly!! Stunningly amazing if he knows it all off by 💖!

[danielsalinas]

I've been eating eggs for breakfast practically every day since I could start cheweing food. I've yet to get tired of them 🤷

[griseldafierro]

Never thought of the ground meat with spinach & cream cheese, sound delicious! Can't Wait!!! ☺

[wilhelmalexander]

“If you’re tired of eating eggs, eat this..”
*shows scrambled eggs*

[gedewahyu.p]

Only four menus in total; details:
01:21 eggs: 1-2 eggs + 1-3 yolks depending on your weight; salts last
03:43 modified bulletproof coffee
05:12 creamed spinach and sausage
07:30 cauliflower hash with chicken and bacon (yeah another bacon menu but don't worry)

[blurrydinosaur]

A great mix of seasonings for sausage : Thyme, Sage, Ginger, Rosemary, Garlic Powder, Salt

[tinymetaltrees]

Hint: For the classic breakfast sausage flavor, toast fennel seeds. You can do a tablespoon or two right in a dry pan on medium high. It only takes a short time maybe 2 minutes-ish give or take, so keep stirring and don’t walk away. You’ll smell sausages when it’s ready. Pour it straight into a bowl or something so it doesn’t keep cooking in the pan. It’ll dry out a little as it cools and that also makes it easier to grind if you want, but these are the same little seeds that you see whole in sausage and they will soften so it’s basically optional. Pass it on!

[nickojones]
