Speaking of... grated jicama, fried in some olive oil with onions and a little bell pepper. Doesn't quite taste like hash browns, but it totally satisfied my desire for them, and I'm a lad of Irish descent for whom the fried potato was a breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) staple for... well, ever. Yes, jicama is a tuberous root... however, it's largely water, and what carbs are there are about 50% fiber (as opposed to a potato, which is mostly readily accessible starch). If you like hash browns, give this a try. Again, it's not quite the same... but it's darn tasty.
Otherwise, pretty standard week: we roasted two chickens and munched on those for protein throughout the week, also had plenty of eggs. Veggies were mostly green... collard greens and broccoli, also some carrots and cabbage. Fats were plenty of nuts and nut butter, and coconut and olive oils.
Speaking of oils... I've told my clients, get at least 3g of a combined total of the important omega-3s (EPA and DHA) per day. Depending on which fish oil you buy, this can mean taking 12-16 capsules a day (sometimes more). But, there's hope! We found this brand at Costco, and it's also available on Amazon for $22.99 a bottle.
Notice, you'd only have to take 4 capsules a day to get your 3 grams in (plus a little extra).
So, no excuses... make sure you're getting your fish oil in!
