Eating on Food Trucks



Eating out is always a challenge. The first picture has 2 plates. One is mine and one is someone else's.  Guess which one is mine?  Mine is the one without the bread.  It was a chicken taco without the bread.  I was not very satisfied after eating it because it was small and it was low fat.  there was no extra butter that I could ask for on the food truck.  Its limited fat on trucks.  Wish they would carry lots of butter for my tastes.  The second pic is just my food by itself in case you could not guess which one was mine and which one was someone else's.

What really satisief was pictures 3 and 4.  they are chicken skin balls deep fried with a lot of grease. i dont remember the rest of what was in there, just remember that it was a lot of fat. And fat i find very satifying and it makes me full and keeps me full.

there is always something that you can eat when out, whether from a  truck or a restaurant.  Sometimes its hard to find options, but the easy way is to just get something apetizing and ask them to hold the bread.    I was hoping there would be more options, as I really wanted to bite into a chicken leg but could not find that.  I did eat well that day and felt satisfied.  What more can a broke low carber ask for?

Wings!!! the perfect food


These wings were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
How to cook them- season to taste: Paprkia, garlic, curry, oregano, cayanne, salt oil or butter.  Mix the seasonings with the chicken wings.  Then put it in the over for 1.5 hours at 350 to get them nice and crispy.  Excellent for eating as a snack or as a meal.
Enjoy!!!

Neta's Before and After

Before : 262 pounds.
Dietary choices : Primarily 'instant food' and delivery.
Health condition : Mobility issues, tired very easily.


After : 115 pounds
Dietary choices : Low carb, real foods, clean.
Health condition: No mobility issues, high energy, perfect blood tests.
Exercise: Light/Moderate.


I had a total loss of 160 pounds. At 102 pounds unfortunately I got quite bullied for being 'too skinny' and 'you need to eat a burger' comments.

At first it was funny and, dare I say, flattering. However the comedy waned away after the 20th time I heard that.

Last year I decided to try out raw veganism. For the same reason everyone does.

"For the animals"

However that choice gave me 40 pounds back and I decided to return to low carb and this time I'm vlogging my progress and routines in order for other people on a weight-loss journey to be motivated.

Weight loss is not linear. Especially for women.

You'll have ups and downs and I'm here to show you that it is normal to stall, plateau, doubt yourself and have social pressure.

I decided to show my progress in real time. Feel free to join me and I'm looking forward to hear your stories too!
