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.

Rosemary Almonds

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.
