Well for breakfast however, there isn't much of a choice that you can have
from the acceptable foods list. Eggs and bacon is pretty much it, unless
you want to eat chicken or beef for breakfast:) Personally, I have no
issues eating eggs and bacon for breakfast. Also, I plan on being on
induction for more then a few weeks:)

Why can't you eat chicken or beef for breakfast? Or a salad? I enjoy
eating a salad with a few chunks of grilled chicken for breakfast, because
I have a hard time eating anything really heavy when I first get up.
My absolute favorite breakfast, however, is a few slices of smoked nova
salmon (lox) rolled up with a dab of cream cheese. I used to eat lox and
cream cheese on a bagel, but it's just dandy without the bagel.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

I eat whatever I want for breakfast. Often that's leftovers from the night
before, such as lasagna, chicken, ribs, salad or whatever. Maybe it's because I
worked nights for several years and I just got used to the idea of MEALS as
opposed to breakfast, lunch & dinner. When I'm not working, I rarely eat
breakfast or lunch so much as I eat a brunch. There's no reason at ALL that you
have to have "traditional" breakfast foods for breakfast.

I like pork breakfast sausage better than bacon. My favorite/staple
breakfast was hash (roast beef or corned beef) + eggs. But it is
typically 20g/serving. Deviled eggs with crumbled bacon & tarragon is
another variation to cut boredom. I tried small 3 oz servings of
cantelope with breakfast but it prompted 2.5 lbs(water) gain in two
days so I backed off from that. I find myself skipping breakfast more
often again. I am gonna try to train myself to have something, even if
it is just a slice of LC toast, a single deviled egg. I think it is a
good preventive measure from being too hungry at lunchtime. (although
that hasn't been a problem yet--it sometimes was before Atkins).
I stayed at induction for 5 weeks before starting OWL. Not because I'm
ready for OWL(133 lbs to go at the time), but because I want to find
my CCLL now before my body might adjust. I can always return to
lower/induction levels if the loss rate was better. I wanted to
understand how my weight loss slowed as the carbs increased. I almost
finished my 30g week and total weekly weight loss is still going to be
3+ lbs. Weight loss is NOT slowing as I increase carbs--at least not
so far.
WEEK 1 -5.4 (20g induction)
WEEK 2 -3.6 (20g induction)
WEEK 3 -3.3 (20g induction)
WEEK 4 -2.8 (20g induction)
WEEK 5 -3.4 (20g induction)
WEEK 6 -3.7 (25g OWL)
WEEK 7 -3.0 (30g OWL, only 6 out of 7 days so far)
I must state that I'm not strictly in the 5g range of limit. I've had
two over-days and four under-days.
25g week = 20.6, +31.0, 13.5-, 21.5, 22.1, 20.1, +28.5
30g week = 22.4-, 30.0, 22.0-, 28.4, 28.1, 23.6-, today
Only a longer period of staying at these levels will prove out my real
numbers. I am starting to see one pattern. The first 4-5 days of each
increase I had almost no weight loss or slight (<1 lb) weight gain,
before weight loss resumed towards the end of the week. For this
reason I have decided to stay at 30g a second week and only go up 5g
every other week so I can better see weight loss patterns.
This morning I had sausage & eggs,with 1/2 tbsp of real ketchup and
dry (I always ate it dry) rye toast. An almost perfect breakfast,
something I would have eaten when not dieting at all. I only missed a
little orange juice. One day...

A lot of people report getting tired of the same stuff. That is a reason to
consider eating something other than typical breakfast foods.
There is the lovely mexican quickie pie using beef...great breakfast fare,
if you ask me.
