Day 35 - Weigh in wednesday

Why I no longer use Myfitnesspal-Sophie

I am no longer using myfitnesspal. While it is IS nice to share what I'm eating, I found out that I was micromanaging my meals and not getting enough protein and too much fat because I was trying to hit certain numbers.  I wasnt feeling that well and had some brain fog and was losing hair.  Now I am just listening to my body to lose weight.

Listen to you body, it know what it wants!!!!

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!!!

Real greek yoghurt.

I wanted to inform everyone that THIS is greek yoghurt. 

What is sold to you as 'greek yoghurt' is in fact, "strained yoghurt". Which is why it is thicker.

Greek yoghurt is traditionally from sheep or goat's milk (nowadays they also come in cow's milk, but the tastiest is the goat's milk one) and there is a skin on top which are probiotics. 

Women on antibiotics consume a small pot of this yoghurt and they avoid yeast infections.

Ingredients are only milk and the cultivation. Nothing else.

If you find this type of yoghurt, you can start making your own by warming up raw milk to 90oC and then letting it cool to 45oC,

mix 1 spoonful of the yoghurt you found with half a glass of milk and mix.

Put mix in the oven at 45oC (or keep it at a warm place) for 4 hours minimum undisturbed.

Let the yoghurt cool down to room temperature and then place in the fridge for 24 hours.
Consume within 10 days.

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!

Sophie and I have a youtube channel and a facebook page

Zero carb movie snack #2 ! Fast and simple!

Watch the video here!


Step 1 :
Get pork fat (or beef fat) from the butcher, I find pork fat so that's what i'm working with.

Step 2 :
Cut in pieces the fat. You can cut it in squares for chips or in strips for a replacement of bread sticks for dipping!

Step 3 :
Start rendering the fat in a pot or pan (i'm using a pot) at half the maximum heat your stove allows you. I was told to take out half the fat each time in order to avoid 'burning it'. Not sure what that means but it works anyhow!

Keep the rendered fat in a porcelain container of choice. I'm using a baking pan and then I transfer that in to a jar and keep it in the fridge.

Step 4 :
Season at will and enjoy your movie snack!!
