During the fall, I occasionally incorporate starch into my diet, in the form of tubers and squashes. This is a Paleo style recipe that I make every October.
I used butternut squash for this, but pumpkin or any other type of squash would also work. I roast the butternut squash in the oven until soft and then scoop out the meat. I mix the meat with cream cheese. The amount of cream cheese is up to you and the size of the squash you used. I like mine creamy, so I use half a package for one medium sized squash.
I season with salt and allspice and I mix until well blended. I then top with nuts and unsweetened, shredded coconut. No need to add sweeteners. The squash is sweet enough as it is.
You can also top with homemade whipped cream. I keep this dish cold and scoop out some to eat after my main meal. Do not snack on it or make it a meal. It will last for 10 days in the fridge when well covered.
A sensible and simple, real food approach for improving metabolism without the BS.
Welcome
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.
