Asparagus and Tomato Frittata with Feta Recipe This simple Asparagus and Tomato Frittata with Feta is a light and healthy breakfast recipe that is perfect for feeding family on the weekend or prepping ahead of time for easy breakfasts and lunches. Tips : Can substitute a thick and chunky salsa for the tomatoes to create a spicy frittata. It's delicious. Try low fat ricotta instead of feta . For a touch of heat, you could use the canned tomatoes with green chilies. Ingredients 1/2 tbsp olive oil 2 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces 4 green onions, chopped 3/4 cup fresh tomato, seeded and chopped 6 eggs 1/2 cup skim milk 3/4 cup crumbled reduced fat feta cheese Salt and pepper, to taste Directions Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 1/2 cup feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the green onions and asparagus and saute until just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato and cook for one more minute. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the eggs begin to set but don’t burn for approximately about 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining feta cheese and place in the oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes until eggs are completely set and cooked through.

16.01.2022 Need hearty low carb soup recipes! Type Yes in comments Low Carb Avgolemeno (Greek Chicken, Lemon & Egg Soup)... It’s been rainy and dreary here in Melbourne for the past week, and today was no exception. It was the kind of day that just screamed for chicken noodle soup, but without the noodles (or rice, or potatoes) it’s just chicken soup, and not nearly as satisfying. Had heard about Avgolemeno, a traditional Greek chicken soup made with lemon and eggs whisked into it, and always wanted to try it if only because the name is cool. It’s typically made with rice or orzo, but I thought let’s put a low carb twist on it by serving it with spaghetti squash instead. INGREDIENTS 4 cup cooked, shredded chicken 10 cup chicken stock or broth 3 eggs 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice 2 cup cooked spaghetti squash 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped salt and pepper to taste INSTRUCTIONS Add the chicken and broth to a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. In a medium bowl whisk the eggs and lemon juice together until frothy. Slowly whisk 2 cups of hot stock into the egg mixture don’t just dump it in or you’ll end up with scrambled eggs! Once the stock has been incorporated into the egg mixture, add back to the pot. Stir in the spaghetti squash and gently reheat the soup if necessary don’t bring to a boil or the eggs may curdle. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

06.01.2022 Are weight-loss drugs worth trying? Newer medications, have expanded the options for treating obesity. https://www.elinaweightloss.com.au/weight-loss-solutions/... Being overweight is now considered more than a risk factor for other conditions; it's a disease itself. It has been the subject of intense scientific and medical research to develop effective treatments. In Australia Four medications are approved by the TGA since 2019 Duromine (phentermine) Contrave (naltrexone and bupropion ) Saxenda (liraglutide). Orlistat (Xenical) Will the newer drugs help you? Like older medications, the new drugs are best used as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program that includes close monitoring by an experienced Elina Doctor. The approved drugs are usually prescribed for people with a BMI higher than 27-30, especially if they have other conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems, or sleep apnoea, which can often be alleviated by losing weight. Not everyone responds the same way to any given drug. A few people may lose a great deal of weight on a particular drug, while others may lose little or none. At present we have no way to predict this response in advance. Fortunately, however, if you don't respond to one drug, you may do well with another. It often requires trying multiple medications to find the right one for each person. The weight-loss drugs won't melt off the weight overnight. If a drug helps you lose 5% of your weight within a few months without side effects, you will likely want to continue it. But medications are not a substitute for lifestyle changes. They work best when used as part of a broader medical Elina weight-loss program. They should be just one part of a lifelong plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress reduction. Which medication to choose? Some weight-loss medications contain drugs used to treat other conditions. You may want to consider a "dual-purpose" medication if you have the following: Type 2 diabetes. You might want to try liraglutide (Saxenda), which may lower your blood sugar. Depression. Contrave contains bupropion, an antidepressant. It may elevate your mood, which can aid weight loss. Discuss your options with your Elina Doctor!
