Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Yes, getting the olive oil down in the morning is rough, so here's what I've come up with: If I have something hot for breakfast, like oatmeal or hot rice, I wait till it's relatively cool, then I add the olive oil to that (I like it with rice so much, I won't eat it without olive oil now). If I eat any type of cold cereal, I add it to that. When I eat something I can't mix it with (like muffins), I've sometimes had to swallow the olive oil by itself after breakfast, and it's pretty rough, so I drink a full glass of water immediately after, 'cause it kinda burns my throat, so I definitely prefer it mixed with food. Also, if you read Mark's diet, he says to take this much till " transit time improves " , then cut back to the one serving at suppertime.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 My uncle said he drank a couple of tablespoons full of olive oil a day. He lived to be over 90.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 I haven't tried the olive oil method yet, but as far as breakfast foods that could easily incorperate olive oil, try cheese grits.
