Welcome


My name is Gina and I would like to welcome you to my blog!

On this blog, I not only share the dietary and lifestyle approach which reversed my metabolic disease and achieved my weight loss, but I also debunk many misconceptions surrounding obesity and its treatment.

I am 5'5" and was weighing 300 lbs., at my heaviest. I lost a total of 180 lbs. I went through several phases of low carbohydrate dieting, until I found what worked best and that is what I share on this blog. Once on a carbohydrate restricted diet, along with intermittent fasting, I dropped all of the weight in a little over two years time.

My weight loss was achieved without any kind of surgery, bariatric or cosmetic. I also did not take any weight loss medications or supplements. I did not use any weight loss program. This weight loss was solely the result of a very low carbohydrate, whole foods based diet, along with daily intermittent fasting and exercise.

I allow discussions in the comments section of each post, but be advised that any inappropriate or off-topic comment will not be approved.

Almond Butter Bread

This recipe is courtesy of Sandy Tucker Rodriguez. I like to make this recipe in a muffin tin.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup raw almond butter ( or any raw nut butter you like)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Blend nut butter and eggs until smooth.
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Pour mixture into a greased loaf pan or muffin tin.
  • Smooth tops.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let cool before slicing or removing from tin.
  • Makes 6 muffins.
You can mix nuts and/or seasonal berries into the batter to create different flavors. These muffins can also be iced with melted dark chocolate or coconut butter.

Do not add any sweeteners to this recipe. It is not meant to be a dessert. If you plan on adding seasonal berries, do not use jams, jellies, preserves or any other processed fruit. Slice real, whole berries into the batter.

One of these muffins makes a great add-on to a traditional breakfast.
