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.

Salmon Salad

I like to sauté green onions in avocado oil and then add a can of wild caught, Alaskan salmon to make a simple, seafood salad. You can add any seasoning you like. I use salt, pepper and Simply Organic Seafood Blend.

I put the salmon on top of spinach. I add 1 tomato, 1 hard boiled egg, Feta cheese and walnuts. You can add other items, if you like, like olives or avocado.

I then add 2 tbsp of Payo Mayo*, macadamia nut oil mayonnaise, on top. I also like to drizzle it with olive oil. *Payo Mayo is no long available. 

You would be surprised how filling this meal is.
