PART 2:Breakfasts

10Dr. Sara’s Eggswith SautéedVegetablesSERVES 1Note from Dr. Sara: Coconut oil is one of the bestfats for cooking (along with ghee and red palm oil)because it contains saturated fat that’s good for you,and is not the villain that cardiologists have made itout to be. Coconut oil is rich in medium chaintriglyceride (MCT), which are easily absorbed anddon’t require bile for assimilation. Extra virgin willhave a stronger coconut taste, and expeller pressed,which I use, is more bland. Choose a type that isexpeller pressed, if you can!INGREDIENTSDIRECTIONS1 tablespoon coconut oil, pastured ghee, or redpalm oilHeat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet overmedium heat. Add veggies and sauté, stirringoccasionally about 5 to 10 minutes. Scrapeveggies to side of the pan, and add eggs toother side and allow to set. Once set, combinewith veggies and serve hot.1 cup thinly sliced kale or other greens½ cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, greenorange), chopped½ cup medium yellow onion, chopped2 pastured eggs, beatenSalt and pepper to tasteHot sauce (optional)Dr. Sara’s Hormone Reset Community Cookbook16

Even though I probably wasn'tthe typical detoxer in that I had alreadyeliminated many items from my diet overthe years, I really needed to reset my sugarand carb cravings. I admit I didn't have theperfect detox, but when I did fall down, itwas very easy to get back up and continueon. I attribute that to the shakes and thelimited food choices. I knew exactly whatI had to do. My weight loss has been slow,4 lbs, but I did lose a few inches which I'mthrilled about. The most notable change isthat I'm sleeping MUCH better. I still wakeup to go to the bathroom but get back tosleep very easily. I feel more rested andI'm dreaming again. To that end I haven'treintroduced my coffee and wine on aregular basis. I don't need it, especially if itinterferes with my sleep. Also, I still haven'thad that first piece of non-compliant candy,first chip or first french fry. I haven't reallywanted to either. The real test will be theupcoming holidays. I'm ready for a challengethough! Thanks Dr. Sara!— Julie Staehely Can be eaten warmed in a saucepanor chilled.Dr. Sara’s Hormone Reset Community Cookbook17
