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.

Chocolate and Almond Butter "Bar"

On occasion, I like having a little extra something after my lunch. Something that just hits the spot. This is the perfect time to choose an item that would not be eaten alone, but as part of a meal instead. Nuts are perfect.

This little concoction is made of 2 tbsp of nuts, mixed with 1 tbsp of almond butter, 1 tsp of unsweetened coconut flakes, 2 squares of 90% dark chocolate and a pinch of salt. It was a perfect way to end a meal.

You can scoop this mixture into a mold that will make it shaped like a bar and put it in the fridge to set, but don't expect to be able to take it with you on the go. It will soften quickly, once out of the fridge. I just ate mine with a spoon.
