Not that I have a thing for omelettes or anything, but I do have a really big thing for omelettes!
Free-range, organic, whole eggs are one of my favorite fat burning foods; delicious, filling, nutritional powerhouses and promote a fat burning hormonal response.
Not to mention the fact that they are extremely versatile, they go well with just about anything (even Tuna, I’m not kidding, just try it) and quick and easy to prepare.
This recipe is slightly different from the Fat Burning Breakfast Omelette because I’m going all veggie.
Whole eggs have a great amount of protein packed into them (whole eggs deliver a more balanced amino acid dose than the whites alone, which means the protein is easier to break down and use by your body), which means I’m not missing out on anything nutritionally.
Ingredients & Prep
I’ve gone for fresh and organic veg: Tomatoes, red pepper and a small white onion. But you can try any number of combinations. I’ve even seen asparagus in an omelette!
I like to get the preparation done first, so chop up the veg and then prepare the omelette ‘mix’.
I use 3 whole eggs (free-range and organic as I’ve already mentioned), a little raw milk (unpasteurized and unhomogenized) to your taste depending on how firm or runny you’d like it, and season with pepper and a little rock salt.
Just a little note on salt. I try to stay clear of as many processed foods as I can, so my salt intake is pretty low. Adding rock or sea salt to your meals is completely safe and healthy as long as you use it sparingly. Oh, and the taste is a big positive too.
Cooking
Next, heat a little oil in a pan (I use organic, extra virgin coconut oil because it is amazingly healthy and the fats are very stable under high heat – i.e. they don’t turn into anything nasty!) and cook off the onions and peppers just to soften them up.
Finally add your omelette mix and the chopped tomatoes, spread the mix and veg out a bit and cook on a medium to low heat. You’re almost there!
TIP: I like to move the pan around on the heat to make sure it cooks evenly. If you find that the bottom is cooking but the top is too runny you can always finish it off under the grill.
Turn it out onto a plate et voila! You’re done.
Make It Your Own!
Served with a mug of green tea.
Just remember to make sure that any sides, and they oil you cook with go a long way to determining how healthy and fat burning the meal is.
If you fry it in an ocean of refined vegetable oil and serve with a large portion of chips, then your looking at a stomach bulging meal, rather than a slimming one.

Free-range organic eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants (such as Lutein), essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K. Not the processed fats you would find in a vat of vegetable oil for example. Unlike the veggie oil, fats found in free-range eggs actually encourage fat burning not fat storage.
