If there is one thing that you need to know about me, then it is that I am a massive omelette fan!

Free-range, organic, whole eggs are delicious and packed with essential micronutrients. Not only do they promote a fat burning hormonal response in your body, but they leave you feeling full and control your junk food cravings too. Definitely one of my favorite fat burning foods!
As if that wasn’t enough, just think about how versatile eggs are too. I’ve combined them with chicken, beef, tuna (no kidding), and almost every vegetable under the sun. And let us not forget that they are quick and easy to prepare.
Unlike my Fat Burning Breakfast Omelette, I’m going vegetarian this time.
It is key to use whole eggs, and not just the whites. By doing so you’ll be getting a balanced hit of amino acids, making the protein in the egg easier to break down and use in your body. This is not the case if you only go for egg whites.
Ingredients & Preparation
I’ve used about half of an organic red pepper, a small white onion and 2 smallish organic tomatoes. But the world is your oyster here in terms of ingredients. As long as you stick to the fat burning rules, you are well away.
Food preparation is always the boring bit, so I get this done first. I’ll always chop the veg and put the omelette mix together before I start cooking.

For the base of the mix I use some unpasteurized and unhomogenized raw milk. How much you use depends on your taste, and the consistency you’re after. Then I add 3 whole, free-range eggs and a little sea salt and ground black pepper as seasoning.
Just a side note on salt. If you stay away from processed foods then your salt intake will be pretty low. A little salt is actually vital to maintaining good health, plus it adds flavor to your cooking. Go for sea salt or rock salt and remember to use sparingly.
Cooking Your Omelette
Next you need to cook off the onion and pepper just to soften them up a little bit. I always cook with organic, extra virgin coco nut oil because it is incredibly healthy and the most stable oil under heat (it doesn’t turn into a toxic substance under heating like vegetable oil).
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: Make sure you move the pan around over the heat so that it cooks nice and evenly. I also finish my omelette off under the grill to make sure the top cooks through too.
Turn it out onto a plate et voila! You’re done.
Add Your Personal Touch
Depending on your mood you can add pretty much any ingredient to your omelette, and almost any side garnish too. If you throw in an extra couple of eggs then you can even serve it up in two stages, meaning you only need to cook once!
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.
This fat burning omelette recipe is a great example of how weight loss recipes can be delicious and filling. Why starve yourself crazy when you can eat delicious foods and still lose weight?
