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.

There are years worth of content on this blog, so I suggest you use Labels to easily find the information you are looking for. If what you are looking for is not under Labels, enter it into the Search Bar.

Grass Fed Bison Burger On A Salad

Bison is a meat that is often overlooked, but slowly becoming more popular at the market.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. ground bison, seasoned with any seasoning you like. I like mixing it with avocado oil or 1 egg to keep it juicy. You can also mix grated cheese into it.
Instructions:
  • Form into two patties, 1/2 lb each, and fry them up. Bison cooks quickly, so remember to not overcook it to avoid it from drying out.
I like topping my patties with bacon, caramelized in butter onions, spicy mustard and roasted red pepper bruschetta. Make sure the brand you use does not have added sugar or seed oils of any kind.

My salad is watercress (an underrated leafy green in my opinion), 1 tomato, 1 avocado and grated Kerrygold cheddar cheese. I drizzled the entire thing with olive oil.
