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.

Fried Zucchini

This has quickly become my favorite side dish. I am a creature of habit, so I do not mind eating this everyday. Since I am on limited vegetables, this dish is great. Zucchini does not affect my digestion. It is also cheap, easy to prepare and completely delicious.

Back in my former life, I would make this same recipe, all of the time, using potatoes. It's great to be able to get my favorite flavor using a benign vegetable like zucchini rather than potatoes. Miraculously, the zucchini actually tastes better.

First, I wash and slice the zucchini. I then coat a pan with butter and avocado oil. I add plenty of salt, garlic powder and dried parsley flakes to the oil. I then toss in the zucchini slices and fry them up. Make sure you flip all of the slices, so they are evenly coated in the oil and spices. I like mines on the brown side. They actually taste even better at room temperature, so you can make them in advance.
