Today is day 2 of clean eating I found out yesterday I did not like Oatmeal.

This morning I made the Ziploc Omlet I put a few leaves of spinach onion, green pepper flaxseed and 1 slice of canadian bacon (hubby did not get the low sodium kind so for 3 slices it was 750 mg (Yikes) so I figured one slice was ok (I should have used my low sodium deli turkey instead, but I loved it! I had an orange and 8 oz of skim milk.

Yes! It's a great idea! We did it when my DH's sis and her hubby were here a couple months ago. I put all kinds of goodies out for them to pick & choose...cheese, peppers, mushrooms, onions...we all marked our own baggie with a marker and had fun seeing the diff combos. It worked like a charm and clean up was easy!

Hi Beth
I just want to point out that there was a notice on Tosca Reno's website about the ziploc omlet.

http://www.toscareno.com/store.html
*************************************
Important Notice

On page 195 in The Eat-Clean Diet is a recipe called "Ziploc Omelet." Since publication we have found that it is not advised to boil food in these plastic bags. Please accept our apologies.

We will be removing this recipe from subsequent printings, but in the meantime please refrain from cooking food this way.

I don't have the Clean Eating magazine but I have both her Eat Clean Diet book and the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook and both are great!
Congrats to you on clean eating! :7

No I did not see it. But I used the Freezer one so it is strong and I had no problems did they say why? I will try to find the article.

Thank you

I didnt realize Tosca had printed a retraction- THANK GOODNESS! I did it once...watched it boil & threw it way....I wouldnt eat a single thing that plastic is made of ....Also...Dont microwave with plastic wrap as so many recipes say to do...just my opinion;-)
 
I remember reading somewhere about chemicals being released through the high heat and that you shouldn't let your food touch the plastic as it heats, I don't know if it was ever verified by an official study though. One thing that can be harmful for sure is the estrogen in plastics that have been linked to prostate cancer in men.

Yep, that's the reason to not cook in any type of plastic.

They have found that heating plastics causes cancer. I learned that when I was heating baby bottles up in the microwave...
Those veggies in bags are also considered unsafe, too.
 
It's dangerous to do, plus it's ridiculous. It's so bad for the environment - where do you think all those plastic bags go? As they dissolve, over the next hundred years, you'll be reconsuming them in the foods you eat and beverage you drink as they leach into the soil and water. All so you don't have to wash one bowl or pan? Please. If you're eating healthy and exercising, you should be able to expend the energy needed to wash a dish or two (or, more likely, put them in the dishwasher).

You know, I haven't ever thought of that before but now as I do it just makes me sick to think about it!

Cool. Live to be over hundred and you get a letter from the prez and outlive a plastic baggy. Yippie!

BTW...LOL at Tosca's clean eating gaffe!!
 
As far as I knew, the whole plastic in the microwave thing was just an urban legend or one of those things, and no actual study has ever been done. I could be wrong. I don't worry about it too much, at any rate, I figure like anything, the dose makes the poison, and I don't microwave that much really.

Totally agree with the environmental angle though. I wash and reuse my plastic bags as much as possible.

It's not the strength of the bags that's the problem. It's the chemicals that leach from the plastic into the food when the food is in direct contact with it.

AGREED! Never, ever cook or microwave ANYTHING in plastic---it's so dangerous. You should always microwave things in glass bowls.

I cringe at the thought of how many plastic bags, bottles and containers are thrown away daily.

I had always heard it was a "hoax" too. I'm sure it's still better to microwave in microwave safe glass/ceramic for environmental reasons and just to stay on the safe side. Here is what snopes had to say about it (not that they are the end all for reliable info).

I tried this and was disappointed the veggies weren't a little more... "done." I think I'll stick with the traditional method. Works, though.
 
LOL at Beavs!:7 I knew as soon as I saw Tosca's name mentioned, Beavs wouldn't be far behind.:7 :7 HA!
