Hi Debbie, I have been LFHC for 3 months now and just had lipids checked, all fine. Read "Big Fat Surprise" Nina Teicholz,vfor a thorough exploration of the whole heart healthy, diet-heart hypothesis, after many millions in funding and no connection between dietary animal sourced saturated fat and serum cholesterol. Its more likely the trans fats, margarines and "vegetable" ie seed oils raising LDL cholesterol, all present in vast quantities in processed food as it is cheap and easy to manufacture with.

For milk or cream, you can use coconut milk or coconut cream. For butter, you can use bacon grease or coconut oil, depending on the recipe and for cow cheese you can try feta (sheep) or goat cheese.

Can this be made ahead of time and eaten cold for a school lunch? I like to meal prep for my college lunches. I have access to a microwave but it is quicker for me to just sit and eat.

That would be personal preference. I am not sure I would care for a cold omelet but if it sounds appealing to you, then you can certainly do that.

Generally, the "light" versions of products will have more carbs and less fat, which is not a great idea.

A "western omelette" is a diner staple, so this recreates that flavor profile. If you prefer bacon, you can use that instead. As written, this recipe still gets 73% of its calories from fat.

Surprisingly, yes! Dairy whipped into the eggs can add a lot of volume in the omelet. Sour cream gives a nice, tangy taste.

Yes, you can use ground beef. You can start with 5oz, as called for in the ham amount, and adjust more or less as needed.

Hello, great recipe. But can you check the amounts. Don't think 3/4 cup is 3 oz. it is more like 6 oz, if you consider 1 cup = 8 Oz. Thank you.
