What do You eat...for Example

 

 



 There is a lot of wondering and asking...

WHAT DO YOU EAT ?

Comments like:



foods and nutritional data calculations

What are Carbs?

I couldn't do that....I need MY carbs...

NO POTATOES?!!!   What about carrots?....

I keep track on a website called Fitday.

By logging in the ingredients of a "plate" or meal,I see the proportion of fat,protein and carbs that I am eating .

FITDAY nutritional chart

fat,carb,protein

For now..I aim for 20-30 total carbs per day.

Usually I eat a Brunch meal...maybe a dinner (and not always).

This is a sample of the brunch I ate about 11:30 AM...

I find that the combinations of food are somewhat unusual sometimes compared to typical "American' fare.and I look first to the carb count for making choices.

The cupboard were carb cleaned last year.

I don't want to try to make things that are "LIKE" old trigger foods ..no fake brownies or cake..

Carob Malted Milk Balls are NOT health food because they are in the natural food section .

So...interesting  to notice while in SPAIN:

Olives (which I never ate) are on the breakfast bar...

so when I looked in the fridge...there they were..next to eggs in the fridge..!Hmmm..WHY NOT ?

Concocting a new to me breakfast...It was fun..and tasted good...just different from Pancakes and orange juice....

Very satisfying meal and I will be full for hours...

conferences notes:
Eating SUGAR ,to an inflamed body, is like pouring gasoline onto a fire

 

 

There seems to be a recurring theme .............

the mind blowing

dare to speak

try to learn

absorb new information

and from the workshop notes in Mallorca ..in the low carb presentation workshop notes..

adding sugar to a compromised metabolism is like pouring gasoline onto a fire.............

WHAT DO YOU EAT? (I hear that a lot)

I keep track of what I eat by using a website that calculates nutrition.


https://www.fitday.com/


I had lost 100 pounds years ago and the information food log is still held within the site.
It is interesting to look back and note that the eating during that time,,,2006   was a calorie restricted plan,,,I limited my intake to 1200 -1500 calories a day. I WAS STRUGGLING and hungry.I had cravings galore!


Since finding LCHF a year ago.The dramatic weight loss has been amazing...there have been no cravings to speak of .I have not had carbohydrates ,sugar and that goes to the point of the difference in the combination of foods I was choosing from during calorie restriction.

 The calorie restriction vs. Low carb High (healthy) fat weight loss has been a much different experience.

I have been eating for the past few months,20 -30 net carbs a day :

 meat,eggs,macadamea nuts,seeds,cream.mayo,butter,water,coffee,

,vegetables that grow above ground,

there are great lists on the web. Dr.Eric Westman has great information. 

I am amazed and grateful to have found LCHF and Intermittent fasting.

yesterday

I am looking forward to sharing this information with anyone that is interested.

I was watching a youTube video of a StoryPanel from Ketocon 2017.The discussion was interesting and especially addressing a question as to what are you doing to pass the word about Low Carb,Keto,Paleo  etc....

It was then that I came to this old blog  to   revitalize it to reflect this new to me lifestyle.

Thanks...

😊💪....I now go to YMCA in Baldwinsville New York where I walk in the lazy river. It’s a walking pool with resisting jets. The instructor calls directions and arm exercises are a big part . walk, jog,  forward, backwards, with the current or against it. It’s great exercise without a lot of pressure on your joints. The social/play aspect is a positive experience as well.
Having such a big weight loss has the interesting result of loose skin...so I am thinking I can build up muscle and fill it back up.
I don't know how that might work out and I am having fun.it is the first Gym class that I am enjoying It has only taken me 67 years to find it..

In referring to the play aspect I will also talk about another workshop presenter that was in Mallorca at Low Carb Universe 2017 

DARRYL EDWARDS

Having fun with movement lots of information on the benefits of exercise and laughter.Check out the video of my workshop with him  as we enjoyed the beautiful afternoon in Mallorca.

Thanks to Tommy Runesson..one of the speakers at Low Carb Universe 2017.
Great information on low carb lifestyle and weight loss.


For my part, many times when listening to video presentations or taking lecture notes..pen goes to paper...as witness ,as illustrator ,as observer...student
 "IT" (body) hears..."IT" draws...for me to remember.

lost my passport

To travel to The Low Carb Universe event in Mallorca Spain ,I needed to update my passport...No wonder I wonder who is in the mirror.

LOW CARB AND INTERMITTENT FASTING

Starting over ....regrouping...
I have dusted off this old blog.
I am excited to explore a new to me self.
Long story short...The body I inhabit is changing  as a result of finding way of eating that is body friendly .....
