Re: for those of you who eat eggs

LOL Well it's personal preference I guess. I love eggs but really taste

no difference when I use the egg beaters in things where they are mixed

in or scrambled. It's just one of the little ways to cut the fat. Like

in cakes, I use them and also applesauce instead of veg oil and they

turn out the same but I feel better knowing there is less fat in them.

We like pancakes, waffles or french toast, usually on Sunday I make a

big batch and then that is breakfast during the week and I use the egg

beaters and applesauce in all of them. Did you see that list of healthy

cooking tips a few days ago? I do a lot of those things. That is just

the way I cook now. I try to make normal things but cut the fat

wherever I can. It was just a suggestion.

I know it was just a suggestion and a good one for sure. I do use

the applesauce etc....I'm just becoming very weird lately about

processed foods...it's bizarre. But I also have to eat differently

than most people because of PCOS so processed foods aren't really a

good option for me, as I'm trying to detox and stay as close to the

natural food as I can. It helps, I feel 100% better these days and

the weight is steadily coming off, big change over even 4 months

ago. Hugs,

Gena,

I have heard of using applesauce in place of oil before. How do you do

that? How much? What type of things can you use it with?

thanks,

maryruth

I use the egg

beaters and applesauce in all of them.

That's great that you feel soo much better. Believe me, I understand

about avoiding processed foods. due to an under active thyroid I have a

very low metabolism and actually a lot of the symptoms of PCOS. I'm

seriously considering getting checked for it. It is hard to tell. I had

my tubes tied when I had Cassie and she is almost 13 so I don't know

about infertility. My periods aren't too bad and I get them with in a

few days each month so I don't have that problem but I do have the

excess hair, pluck, pluck, pluck! I hate it! But that could be my

thyroid. I do get acne and carry my weight in the middle. Like I said,

it's hard to say but I am thinking of being checked for it. Also Mike

has chronic fatigue syndrome and crohn's. With those illnesses, we have

cut way back on processed foods. Still eat too much of them but we have

cut back a lot. Always room for improvement. :-) But the egg beaters,

my understanding is they are simply the egg with the cholesterol and

fat removed.

Anyway, you have done great! I'm very impressed. You have really taken

the bull by the horns. I have read a lot about PCOS lately and it

sounds like you really have a handle on it. Good for you!

Gena :-)

I guess I just think that there must be some chemical to preserve

eggs cracked into a box. How can they stay fresh without a

preservative? Now you've got me craving eggs! LOL Talk to your doc

about it. It might not hurt to get a hormone test. I never had

regular cycles. Could be 21, 28, 49, 53, 72 and 99 days between.

Never could tell when.
