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.

Greek Style Salad

I like making a big batch of this salad, as a side dish that lasts a few days.

Drizzle with avocado oil and then roast 1 eggplant, 1 zucchini, 1 yellow squash and 1 red bell pepper at 350 F degrees for about an hour and a half. You want them to turn nice and brown along the edges, but don't burn them. Once they are done, remove from the oven and let cool.

Add olives and feta cheese. Sprinkle with Mediterranean style herbs and plenty of salt. Then finish with lots of olive oil. You can also add fresh herbs as well like oregano or mint.

Eat at room temperature or put in the fridge for 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to marinate.
