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.

Sausage Skillet

I love making one pot meals and in this case, it's a one pan meal.

I sauteed sausages with onions, garlic, red peppers and cherry tomatoes until the tomatoes pop and excess moisture is absorbed. I like cooking them with a bay leaf for extra flavor. I then added some black olives.

This meal is fine as is, but you can always pair it with your favorite vegetable or leafy greens. It makes a great stuffing for acorn squash if you are able to eat starches. Top it with swiss cheese.
