Morning! First of all congratulations on tackling your health issues head on and for the positive impact this has had.
I also admire the fact you have decided to join this group in order to maintain your health. It's quite often something we take for granted once we have lost the weight we want to. The risk here is that we often slowly slip back into old habits or simply pay less attention to our diet.
In terms of changing your diet, can I ask what you did and the main differences?
I've taken to trying many of the keto recipes for cakes and biscuits. Not all the time of course. But I didn't use to bake so it's all a novelty to me. I make keto bread etc and it doesnt raise blood. It's amazing how you can always find another way.
Well you've reached 'Nirvana' you deserve an occasional treat. I'm still battling the mountain, so it's keto bread and cakes when I really have to!! 😂 I have a deal with myself, I can have it if I make it.....9 times out of 10 I'm too lazy !!
Very inspiring indeed! Incredible the difference getting rid of the processed food with low nutritional value can have!
I realise baking can be difficult to stop because it isn't necessarily about the food, but the enjoyment of baking as a hobby. Well done though for realising it didn't help your situation and taking action on it!
You are absolutely right , it was the baking process!That was never clearer in the fact I used to make quite a lot of sourdough breads , but I don't particularly enjoy the flavour, but I enjoyed the challenge and the process!
Oh and just to add , I also include quite a bit of fermented food/drinks now in my daily diet
Welcome instructor. I’m an example of someone who lost a similar amount of weight just to let it pile back on. Well, at least I’m back here biting the bullet!
Your dieting approach sounds similar to mine. I’ve been doing IF and liberal lchf since the beginning of November and it’s reasonably easy to sustain.
Great news losing your weight an keeping it off!!! It's great your managing to control you T2D and your discharged from cardiac team, you must be doing well. I look forward to your hints and tips how you did it!! 😉
That's what I've started to do and it's working !!! I haven't reduced calories, just put back my eating, so 2 meals instead of 3 ....your recipes will be interesting. Good luck !
Yes, traditionally kimchi was made from Napa cabbage (among other ingredients) But yes, it fermented and packed with live bacteria (as long as you don't get the cheap pasturised stuff you sometimes see in the shops 😁)
I was introduced to it many years ago whilst working in Korea .
But now I eat/drink fermented products almost daily, including homemade Kombucha 🙂
I don't actually 🙂Although I have considered it but to be honest I really can't be bothered as I have found (for me) what I feel is a very good product.
I have previously made sauerkraut but wasn't too impressed with the results 🙂
