I love seasoned almonds, but unfortunately the kind you find pre-made, even in the best grocery stores, are full of inflammatory seed oils and sometimes even sugars. For this reason, I like making my own.
I buy raw almonds and slowly fry them in rosemary infused extra virgin olive oil. I use low heat, so that the almonds and the olive oil do not burn. You can use fresh or dried rosemary. Do not forget to salt them well. I usually pair these almonds with tomatoes or avocados for a side salad.
I always like to add a side salad to my main meal, because it gives me the chance to have olives, nuts, cheeses or other foods that I like which should only be used as garnishes.
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.
