I have been on a diet journey since my midd twenties, but as I entered my forties the scale climbed me steady up to 89 kilogram and I knew I had to loose weight! After I discovered recently that I was becoming insulin resistant I had a new urgency in my life to loose weight. Not just to loose it but find a lifestyle of loosing it. I decided to go by the way of LOW CARB EATING. This blog is about my journey..... the good and the bad.....

ALL ABOUT TODAY: 4 November
My appetite has definitely increased with the weather turning cooler. Can not tell you what the weight loss again has meant for my encouragement. Reaching my 15kg down mark feels like such an accomplishment. I decided not to weight daily but about twice a week.
Now I'm aiming to get to 70kg!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!
Monday is always a good day to begin anew. I feel like great food! I am feeling like eating tasty good food and an end to big amounts of salad. I have been scrolling through some recipes and want to make some of them is week.
BREAKFAST this morning was HUGE the 'bun in a mug'sliced dressed with a tin of tuna and tomato slices rounded off with a squirt of mayo and black pepper. I felt like a queen :) Coffee and cream off course.
Midd morning I had 2 coconut oil chocs - I'm on a mission!
LUNCH was a delicious Greek salad my way - cucumber, tomato, olives (black and green) with feta crumbled in.
I went to buy fruit and vegetables this afternoon. Strange but at the store when I saw these huge lettuces and they smelled so delicious I literally started drooling..... Amazing I use to not eat too much of it in the past. While washing the lettuce at home I had a few of the big outside leafs..... so fresh.
I had another coconut oil choc for a snack midd afternoon.
SUPPER was the cauliflower mock potato salad with eggplant ground meat canoes.
Here is the recipe for the EGGPLANT GROUND MEAT CANOES:
Half 3 medium eggplants and slice v shapes into the meat and hollow it out like a canoe. Slice and chop an onion, cut the meat of the eggplant in little cubes, use about a cup of ground meat. Fry the ingredients in olive oil. Salt and black pepper. Add 2T of ketchup.
Scoop back into the eggplant canoes. Pack in a glass dish. Make sure they lean next to one another so the juice from the meat can sink into the eggplant when they cook and not run away. Cover with foil. Bake at 180dC for an hour or until soft and cooked through. For the last 10 minutes sprinkle cheese over and let it melt. Enjoy.
This is actually a very Turkish way of eating eggplant and one of my favorite eggplant dishes.
