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: 16 February
Accountability is all about confession! :D I fell knee deep for two woopie pies last night! Atleast they were home made and small. Today I'm all back craving everything and the trash can. Just have to walk through it and go on!
BREAKFAST was half an avocado pear with salt and a splash of lemon, with 3 slices of the PEANUT BUTTER BREAD, two eggs fried, coffee and cream:
Mr. Peanut Sandwich Bread
LOW CARB
1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 packet sweetener (optional)
Blend peanut butter and eggs until smooth (I just used a fork).
Add in remaining ingredients.
Pour into a sprayed loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
Let cool before slicing.
3.03 net carbs per slice with 17 slices
The texture of this loaf is fantastic.
It is not dense like many coconut flour breads. It is springy, yet sturdy enough to hold together well for sandwiches. If you don't mind a slight nutty flavor, this will be a go to recipe. It can be made into muffins too. Just think, a great bread with no specialty ingredients or time consuming methods.
It turned out so good.
My bread pan was a bit big so next time I will make this batch double to make a bigger loaf. Even my kids thought it was great.
LUNCH was roasted chicken strips tossed with a lettuce, cucumber strips, tomato pieces tossed with a lemon and olive oil dressing. Had about 5 almonds for dessert.
Had more coffee through the afternoon with cream.
SUPPER was a treat at a friends home mixed green salad with a vegetable medley of broccoli, brussel sprout, cabbage, mushrooms and ranch dressing drizzled over. Had some chicken strips on top of it all. Was a great supper.
Tomorrow is Monday always a good time to start a fresh. Want to cut out nuts this week and stick closer to Induction. I think I might be eating too much cheese so today I was way cutting back on that. Will weigh tomorrow, it does not feel as if I'm down but you never know.
