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.

Iced Coffee

Cold coffee makes all the difference.

You can have true cold brew, which is when the coffee is made using a cold method rather than hot water or you can cool down regular brew coffee and then pour it over ice. There seems to be a taste distinction between the two brewing methods. I happen to prefer the latter.

I brew my hot coffee in the morning and then let it cool down, on the counter, before transferring it to a container and placing it in the fridge. When I get ready to have a cup, I pour it over ice to maximize the cold. I usually like drinking it after my lunch.

You can drink the coffee black or add cream. I like adding goat milk to it, but I have started to drink it black as well. Black, cold coffee tastes great. The cold really enhances its nutty flavor and eliminates all bitterness. It also leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
