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.

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.

Apple No Pie

This is a nice seasonal item to have after a meal.

I core 3 apples and cut them into wedges. There is no need to peel them. I then cook them with a little butter, cream and cinnamon. Once they are reduced, I remove them from the heat. You want them to be soft and golden, but retain their wedge shape.

I top them with pan roasted nuts. I take about 1/4 cup raw nuts and slowly pan roast them in a little butter over low heat. I sprinkle them with salt.

Do not add sweeteners to this dish. It is not meant to be a conventional "dessert".
