The one good thing about starting a diet, is that the first few days of "said diet", you have to consume mostly protien, and that the body turns into a "fat burning machine" so they let you eat a lot of meat and eggs.
My cholesterol has never really been a problem, but, just to play it safe, my Doctor and I decided that it would be a good idea to take Statin Medication, for Cholesterol Maintenance.
Only problem is that it becomes a license to eat. I discovered that the hard way.
On the other hand, while dieting and under a Doctor’s care, the infusion of fatty, meaty foods is ok. Right?... Right!
So, when I started this endeavor a few days ago, and when my weight counselor told me meat and eggs only, I thought this would be easy. Not really.
Meat or eggs, as a side order to meat, just seems wrong... Tasty, but wrong...

I had lunch with my daughter today and ordered a beef patty. The waitress asked what I’d like for a side dish. Well, I’m not supposed to have veggies yet, and I knew French fries are not on the plan, so I asked if I could have an egg, over easy on top?
She asked if that was on my diet. I told her that it is for the next two days. She told me that they didn’t keep eggs at this particular establishment. So I had opted for a dry hamburger patty. I did add a little mustard.
Next time, I’m going for the 12 oz. Sirloin.
